Here's How Tall Michelle Obama Really Is

Former First Lady Michelle Obama's high standing in society seems to correspond nicely with her height. Standing tall at an impressive 5'11", she is definitely one of the women you would notice in any gathering, and that's not only because of her position or star power. The average woman in America is about 5'4" (via Verywell Fit), so you get the idea of how towering she might look in comparison to other women.

And she is not just tall for a woman, she is tall even in comparison to men. In fact, she is almost as tall as her husband, former President Barack Obama, who at 6'1" is only two inches taller than his 57-year-old wife. American men on average are 5'9" (via Verywell Fit), further underscoring how tall the former First Lady really is.

In comparison to other First Ladies, Michelle Obama is among the tallest to ever call the White House home. As a matter of fact, no other First Lady is taller than her. Eleanor Roosevelt and Melania Trump, at 5'11" (via BiBi3), matched her height.
