The biggest number known to man is Googolplex. By Oxford Languages definition, Googolplex is “equivalent to ten raised to the power of a googol.”
For reference, Googol is 10 to the 100th power, which is 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
