Also, lightest player(s) to win the ADCC or Mundials Absolutes:

CBJJ Mundials
Amauri Bitetti (1996/1997), Jacare (2004/2005) & Margarida (2001) @ Meio Pesado

I think Amauri Bitetti was also Meio Pesado when he won his 2 absolutes, but i am not 100% sure because i don't think he entered any weight category divisions those years so can't see what he weighed. He took 3rd @ Meio Pesado a couple of years afterwards.

1996 Amauri Bitetti (Meio Pesado)
1997 Amauri Bitetti (Meio Pesado)
1998 Jose Mario Sperry (Super Pesado)
1999 Rodrigo Medeiros (Pesado)
2000 Rodrigo Medeiros (Pesado)
2001 Fernando Pontes (Pesado)
2002 Marcio Cruz (Pesadissimo)
2003 Marcio Cruz (Pesadissimo)
2004 Ronaldo Souza (Meio Pesado)
2005 Ronaldo Souza (Meio Pesado)
2006 Xande Ribeiro (Pesado)
2007 Roger Gracie (Super Pesado)
2008 Xande Ribeiro (Pesado)
2009 Roger Gracie (Super Pesado)

CBJJO & CBJJE had/have split absolutes (-79kg/+79kg) so can't say really.
In terms of the Masters, Gabriel Willcox won the 2006 black belt masters absolute and the featherweight title which is pretty impressive.


ADCC
Braulio Estima (-87.9kg)

In terms of ADCC, the absolute winners are:
1998 Mario Sperry (-99kg) - he took 1st in his weight category
1999 Roberto Traven (-99kg) - He didn't place in his weight category
2000 Mark Kerr (+99kg) - he took 1st in his weight category
2001 Ricardo Arona (-99kg) - he took 1st in his weight category
2003 Dean Lister (-99kg) - He didn't place in his weight category
2005 Roger Gracie (-99kg) - he took 1st in his weight category
2007 Robert Drysdale (-99kg) - he took 3rd in his weight category
2009 Braulio Estima (-87kg) - he took 1st in his weight category

So 6 were -99kg, 1 was +99kg and Braulio was lightest at -87.9kg
