What are some massive black holes?

Remember this "Ton 618" at 40 BILLION solar masses. 

I just learned that the theoretical upper limit for SBH mass is about 270 BILLION solar masses!  But probably not much bigger than 50 BILLION solar masses.

"The limit is only 5×1010 M for black holes with typical properties, but can reach 2.7×1011 M at maximal prograde spin (a = 1).[7][8][9][10]

What results do you get from using a search engine?

Thank you for your reply. I am actually not sure which are good sources, so happy to seek guidance. 

Thank you.
