RATING, HIGHEST - The highest rating attained on the officially adopted Elo or FIDE system is 2810, by Garry Kasparov in 1994 (his highest Professional Chess Association rating was 2814). The highest-rated woman player is Judit Polgar, rated 2675 and ranked 7th in the world of all chessplayers.

I seem to recall Kasparov having a FIDE rating of 2851. Also I believe Fischer's highest USCF was 2814 (nearly equaled in recent times by Smirin's 2812).
