The heaviest pumpkin in the world weighs more than the heaviest man in the world

The heaviest pumpkin weighs 821.23 kg (1,810 lb 8 oz). The Guinness World Records recognised the pumpkin presented by Chris Stevens (USA) at the Stillwater Harvest Fest in Stillwater, Minnesota, USA, in October 2010 as the heaviest pumpkin.


The pumpkin is heavier as compared to Manuel Uribe who, until recent years, held the record as world’s heaviest man, weighing 597 kg (1320 lb.). The heaviest man in recorded history, Jon Brower Minnoch, was weighed 635kg (1400 lb.), still quite a bit lighter than Chris Stevens’ pumpkin. This is true for everyone else on the list of the heaviest people on Wikipedia.
