How high is the Statue of Liberty from its foundation to the tip of the torch?
With the pedestal and foundation included in the measurement, the full height is 305 feet 6 inches.
Height of the statue from her heel to the top of her head is 111 feet, 6 inches.
Total weight of the statue of Liberty is 225 tons (or 450,000 pounds).
Miss Liberty sits proudly atop the 65 ft. tall foundation fashioned in the shape of an eleven-point star, and an 89 ft. stone.
Also, the lady has got big feet!
It’s true, Miss Liberty’s feet are 25 ft long, making her a US women’s shoe size 879. She also has a 35 ft. waist, and her face is more than 8 ft. tall. Her right arm, which holds the ever-lit torch, measures 42 ft.

Rotten question! The base of the statue is called the pedestal and from there the statue is 305 feet but from the base of the statue, it is 151 feet learn the correct terminology or don't ask the question!

That is the measurement from the ground to the torch. Your question ask from the foundation to the torch.
