Man of the World 2024 was the sixth edition of the Man of the World competition, held at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines, on July 26, 2024.[1][2]

On July 25, 2024, the Man of the World Organization announced that the pageant will be held in a new venue, Winford Resort and Casino Manila instead of the latter venue due to the existing weather conditions caused by the southwest monsoon (habagat) and Typhoon Carina.

Man of the World 2022 Aditya Khurana of India crowned Sergio Azuaga of Venezuela at the end of the event, stepping in for Man of the World 2023 Jin Wook Kim of Korea who was unable to fly from South Korea to the Philippines to attend the event due to the aforementioned inclement weather.[3][4]

Azuaga's victory marked the first time Venezuela and a delegate from the Americas won Man of the World.
