270-280AD Birth of St. Nicholas, who was to become the most accurate and actual ancestor of Santa Claus. He was ordained Bishop whilst still a very young man, and spent his life helping the poor and underpriviledged. He loved children and often went out at night disguised in a hooded cloak, to leave necessary gifts of money, clothing or food at the windows of unfortunate families.

The first of these is Saint Nicholas of Myra, a 4th century Christian bishop of Myra in Lycia.
So 1600-1700 years old.

Santa is ageless... because he's not an actual living breathing person. He's the SPIRIT of Christmas. When will people stop assigning human physical attributes to this???
Do you mean how old is that poem The Night Before Christmas?

Too old, he needs to retire. There are too many broken hearted kids out there due to finding out he's not real.
