Yes, there used to be a $500 bill. It featured a picture of President William McKinley. No bills larger than $100 have been printed since the 1940s. Banks haven't been allowed to distribute them since 1969.
Other high denomination bills were $1000, $5000, and $10,000. They too were discontinued in the 1940s and distribution ended at the same time as $500 bills.
The largest US bills ever printed were Series 1934 $100,000 gold certificates. These were never put into circulation but instead served for transferring large amounts within and between various government departments.
