There has never been a $1,000,000 United States note made. The highest denomination was a Series 1934 $100,000 gold certificate note meant to be used for intra-governmental transactions. It had Woodrow Wilson's portrait, but were only used for a handful of years before it was discontinued in 1940. All known specimens are the property of the U.S. government, and it is illegal to own, with the Secret Service having jurisdiction over recovery.
Though these haven't been printed since 1945, the following bills are still legal tender (although worth far more than their face values):
$500 - William McKinley
$1,000 - Grover Cleveland
$5,000 - James Madison
$10,000 - Salmon P. Chase
They were officially discontinued in 1969, so Ben Franklin on the $100 remains the highest legal tender note that is widely circulated.
Any $1,000,000 or $1,000,000,000 U.S. note is a fake.
