User:Canuckian89/United States Secretaries of the Treasury

This is a list of United States Secretaries of the Treasury in order of longevity. There are currently seventy-three Secretaries on the list and ten living Secretaries. The list is in descending order and is correct as of November 29, 2024. The oldest Secretary is Franklin MacVeagh (1837 - 1934), who died at the age of 96 years, 226 days. The oldest living Secretary is George P. Shultz. He is currently 103 years, 352 days old and has held the title of oldest living Secretary since June 10, 2003.
