This thread is dedicated to people you are surprised to find out are still alive.

Please go for only one person per post, and don't just list, but give an detailed explanation.

I thought he was like 70 in the 90s when the fall of the Soviet Union happened. Which would have made him in his 90s now. I was fairly close, he was born in 1931 which made him 60 in 1991 and will be 90 next year. most of his contemporaries (Reagan, Bush, Yeltsin), have long since passed. Plus he's Russian and for some reason I have this perception that they don't live long.

I almost suggested Queen Elizabeth, but money is irrelevant as far as health care goes for her.

The thing with some of the above cases is that while, yes they are very old, they are in the news cycle at least from time to time.

I've heard crickets from Gorbachev since like 1992.
