I bet my friend $100 that it was 9'11'', which is what I was told at the "Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum in Branson, Missouri. As I live in northern Illinois, it is impossible for me to get proof, so could you please give a link/source?

Remember, I don't want the tallest living man, just the tallest man ever.

Strictly speaking, the tallest man ever recorded was Goliath, who in 1 Samuel 17:4 was recorded at six cubits and a span. A cubit is about 18 inches and a span about 9 inches, meaning that Goliath was 9 feet 9 inches tall.
