The life expectancy of 75 is an average (of the US population i assume), billionaires are likely to live longer
Gaben is not exactly an inspiring portrait of health...
The latest pictures of him look good, though. The man has definitely lost some weight.
Plus Gaben has been doing some serious work on his health recently so the fat part no longer applies.
Fit billionaires do. What happens to gaben's heart and arteries are anyone's guess. He is getting healthier but you can't undo damage completely.
75 years of nation-wide life expectancy is also likely to include early deaths due to accidents, cancer and such. People who die of "old age" typically do later than 75.
Yep, and that was true even going all the way back through history. People weren't routinely dying in their 30s or whatever before modern medicine; it's just that a lot more of them were dying in infancy/early childhood and that brought down the average. (That's the situation anti-vaxxers are trying to go back to, BTW.)
When people talks about life expectancy 99.99% of the time they mean life expectancy at birth, at every year the life expectancy change. Using this life table someone with 61 years, have a life expectancy of 19.7 years, that means he's expected to live until he's 80.
