The supermassive black hole at the core of Messier 87, here shown by an image by the Event Horizon Telescope, is among the black holes in this list.. This is an ordered list of the most massive black holes so far discovered (and probable candidates), measured in units of solar masses (M ☉), approximately 2 × 10 30 kilograms.
It has been postulated that the primary component of the galactic core is a supermassive black hole with a mass of 40 billion solar masses (M ☉), [1] [2] although no direct measurement has yet been made. Previous estimates by Lauer et al. have jointed a mass value as high as 310 billion M ☉ [1] [2] using the gamma ray point break radius method.

The science and philosophy channel Kurzgesagt has come out with a mind-blowing size comparison of the universe's black holes. The post Black Hole Size Comparison Chart Gives New View of Universe ...
Size comparison of the event horizons of the black holes of TON 618 and Phoenix A.The orbit of Neptune (white oval) is included for comparison. As a quasar, TON 618 is believed to be the active galactic nucleus at the center of a galaxy, the engine of which is a supermassive black hole feeding on intensely hot gas and matter in an accretion disc.
The supergiant elliptical galaxy NGC 4889, at a distance of 336 million light-years away in the Coma Berenices constellation, contains a black hole measured to be 2.1 +3.5 −1.3 × 10 10 (21 billion) M ☉. [107] Masses of black holes in quasars can be estimated via indirect methods that are subject to substantial uncertainty.
