How can i report a world record?

Question

my friend swears he must hold the world record for something, but i dont know where to go to report it. and one other thing...isnt there some sort of cash prize involved for getting one? i always wondered...

Answer 1

Guiness Book of World Records.  They have to verify and confirm that the record has been set.  Very difficult process.  And no, no cash, other than maybe people who pay for appearances.
