The GBU-12 and the GBU-38 weigh 606 pounds and 552 pounds, respectively. They are considered "500-pound" munitions because they're based on a standard 500-pound bomb known as the Mk 82.

The GBU-43 (Massive Ordnance Air Blast, usually called a MOAB. Mother Of All Bombs) which is a 21,000 pound bomb with a blast yield of 11 tons. The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory has stated that a larger version of the MOAB exists, weighing thirteen tons.
Yes, it was a British creation by Barnes Wallis that was an earth penetrator and came as the Tall Boy and the later Grand Slam version which tipped the scales at 22,000 pounds. They are viewed as the first generation of the modern GBU-28 bombs used in the Iraq war and the proposed 30,000 pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator.

Gbu-39/b
The Russian "Tsar Bomba" is the largest known nuclear weapon. Only one was built. On the conventional side, the American BLU-82 was a 15,000 pound bomb that was the largest conventional weapon during Vietnam and the Gulf War. From this weapon came the GBU-43, massive ordnance air blast bomb (MOAB), sometimes referred to as the mother of all bombs. This 22,600 pound weapon was supposedly eclipsed by a Russian weapon (the father of all bombs) some 4 times as powerful, but the veracity of the claims has been called into question.
