Napoleon was about 5′2″ (or 5′6″, depending on which source you trust).

Beethoven and Mozart were both about 5″4″.

Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich is 4′ 10.5″.

As Reich pointed out in a recent New York Times interview: “I use far fewer calories than the average person. I am much more economically and environmentally sustainable. I exhale less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. I use up less space. I have a little house.”
