Hypergiant simply means the largest of the large stars; there is no exact definition as to its size. For comparison, the largest stars (in diameter) have diameters 1000-2000 times that of the Sun; the most massive stars have 150-200 times the mass of the Sun; and the brightest stars (in absolute terms, not as seen by us) are estimated to have about 5 million times the brightness of the Sun.
