Most tortoises or even turtles in general live up to be 60 years. However, this is with proper care and treatment. They will need a great environment to live in to keep them in such a long living state.

It depends on the breed of Tortoise but most can live to be over 100 years old, the same as Parrots. There is a Galapagos Tortoise, one of, if not, the last of it's kind that is well over a 100. They are trying to breed it to save the species.
