TON 618 is still considered one of the largest black holes in the known universe:
Mass: TON 618 is estimated to be 40–66 billion times the mass of the Sun. This is more massive than all the stars in the Milky Way galaxy combined.
Size: TON 618's diameter is about 30–40 times that of our Solar System. Its event horizon is large enough to fit over 30 solar systems. - From BBC Sky at Night (https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-science/ton-618 )
