Since 1969 $100 has been the highest denomination bill available in the US.

Up to 1945 the United States printed large denominations as a primary means for government agencies to exchange funds, long before the days of electronic transfers. The largest denomination that was printed in green and black was the $10,000 bill (Salmon Chase is featured). It was technically possible for a private citizen to obtain one, but that amount of money was well in excess of a year's wages for most people. Currently there are only 336 known bills remaining, and if you come across one, hold onto it, because collectors will pay a lot more than its face value!

There were also some very special $100,000 gold certificates printed in 1934 and 1935. These bills had a picture of Woodrow Wilson and used orange ink. They were not available to the general public. Only a handful remain today. One is in the Smithsonian.

Is there a billion dollar bill?

Not in the US or Canada. The largest circulating US bill was a $10,000 note and only a few hundred were ever printed. The largest US bill ever printed was worth $100,000 and was only used inside the government in the days before electronic funds transfers. However Zimbabwe, which calls its currency the dollar even though it's not linked to the US or Canadian dollar, DID print huge-denomination bills due to rampant hyperinflation. So if the question was "Is there a billion Zimbabwe dollar bill?", that answer is yes.
