Reply to comment by DoyoureadmeHAL in Ultramassive black hole over 30 billion times mass of our sun has been spotted. The discovery had been made possible thanks to a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing — the first time a black hole has been spotted in such a way. by Wagamaga

There is a direct relationship between the mass of a black hole and the size of its event horizon. if you know the one, you know the other. So if a black hole is the highest mass ever seen, it would also be the largest in terms of its event horizon.

That said, inside the event horizon we simply can't know what goes on. So the "actual size" (meaning, how much space the matter inside the black hole occupies) is, I believe, simply unknown.
