The rate fingernails grow depends greatly on the health and diet of a person and also on which finger (the longer the finger the faster the nail grows.) However, it is said that healthy fingernails grow an average of .5 millimeters per week. If you lived to, say, 85-years-old and never had a nail break you would have fingernails around 7 feet long. http://www.britannica.com/ebc/article?tocId=9372975&query=fingernail&ct=

It takes about four to six months for a fingernail to grow from the base to the tip. If the average man never trimmed his beard, it would grow to nearly 30 feet long in his lifetime.
