Being born in 2000
Anyone born in 2000 turns 26 at some point during 2026. Until their birthday arrives they are still 25, which is why an age calculator that only knows the year can never give one answer. Enter the full date above and the number becomes exact, down to the second.

Gladiator won Best Picture and How the Grinch Stole Christmas was the biggest film at the box office. In the news, 2000 was the year of the dot-com bubble bursts.

There were about 6.14 billion people alive, against roughly 8.25 billion today. Atmospheric CO₂ stood near 369 ppm, compared with about 427 ppm now. And money went further: $100 in 2000 bought roughly what $189 buys today.
Sport around 2000
