Resumen:

We have recently discovered that Holm 15A, the brightest cluster galaxy in Abell 85 (A85-BCG), could host an ultramassive black hole (UMBH) with a mass over ten billion solar masses. This large black hole mass results from extrapolations of scaling laws based on the mass of cluster dark matter halos, and from the structure and luminosity of Holm 15A. We review known scaling laws and discuss the existence of UMBH in the universe. We also comment on the likely effects of UMBH on galaxy formation and evolution.
