What does "red belt" means in BJJ?

There is this movie about it, but as always feels like Hollywood pulled BS on watchers.

Do you guys know what is real red belt and who has it?

If short you have to actively be practitioner of bjj for 48 years. So if you got your black belt at age of 19 (earliest time you can get one) you have to be at least 67 and still active to receive it. You also should do something significant to promote sport in your lifetime. Red means 9th and 10th degree black belt and there is 7 people in the world that have it.

The 9th degree red belt: Carlson Gracie, Rorion Gracie, Oswaldo Fadda and Geny Rebello.

The 10th degree red belt is permanently reserved to the pioneers of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Carlos, Oswaldo, Jorge, Gastão and Hélio Gracie.
