Approximately 14.5% of men in the U.S. are six feet or taller, with the majority of them being CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, only about 1% of women in the country are six feet or taller. However, 33% of men self-report being at least six feet tall. This is significantly higher than the overall population percentage, suggesting that taller men may be more likely to achieve success. According to various studies, only about 1 in 25 American men make six figures while being six feet tall. This data is also supported by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which shows a cumulative distribution of population by height and sex. Approximately 15% of the American population is over six feet tall.
