How old is Gollum supposed to be?

We know that Bilbo was 111 at the beginning of LotR:FotR, and it is revealed in RotK that once Gollum got the ring it changed him over a long period of time. We would think the same would happen to Bilbo...but maybe Bilbo is too strong a person for it to change easily.
The history of the Ring and it's time in Middle Earth is well documented...so how long did Gollum have the Ring before he lost it to Bilbo, and how old do you think Gollum is?
I remember Frodo recognizing the name, and maybe it was just a legend...be he figured out Smeagle was Gollums real name, and Gollum used to be a hobbit just like him.
My friend said that he thinks the Gollum was like one of the first hobbits...so that means that Gollum is really old, and may rank up there with some elders of Middle Earth!

Gollum found the ring about 1,500 years after it left Isildor. He's just over 500.

He's between 500-600.
Different kind of hobbit than the Baggins

He was mid aged when he found the ring, had it for 500 years then bilbo had it for 60 years. So gollum is right around 600.

Gollum used to be a hobbit just like him.
ETA: Nevermind. He was a "Stoor Hobbit of the River-Folk"

He found the Ring in 2463 of the Third Age, and it was destroyed in 3019 of the Third Age.
Hypothetically speaking, say he 30 when he found it.
Closing in on the big 6-0-0 is about right.
