It depends on what, exactly, you mean by "infinity". In higher levels of mathematics and fields like Real Analysis, it turns out you can classify different types or classes of infinity. This is what Windom Earle was referring to. Look up Georg Cantor's work.
Though PraiseBob was correct too. Infinity itself isn't a number that you can perform math on. It's more of a concept. There is no "highest number" because for every number x you can always think of a higher number x+1. And you can't say "infinity plus 1 is infinity", because that would mean x + 1 = x which means 1=0, which isn't true.
An interesting book on this subject which I'm reading right now is "Infinity and the Mind" by Rucker.

Infinity is so big that you cannot comprehend how big it is.
Say there is a room that is infinitely big. Well, you would not know it was a room. You would never, ever be able to see walls or a ceiling. All you would see is a floor (assuming gravity) that never ends.
I hope this helps.

Infinity hurts my head, so I never try to imagine anything larger than infinity minus one

A priest I know used to tell this story. He said imagine a globe of steel the size of the earth suspended in space. Now imagine there is a bird that flies past the globe once every thousand years, and brushes the globe with the tip of its wing. Imagine how long it would take that bird to wear down the globe to the size of a marble...eternity would just be getting started!

It depends on which infinity.
Aleph null is the size of the natural numbers.
Aleph one is the size of the real numbers.
The higher order infinities bigger than those.

If you took all the egos of all Hollywood, Wall Street, Washington and televangelists combined, proportionately expanded each of those egos to the size of the entire solar system, multipled that amount by itself, and multiplied that size by itself, you still would not begin to even comprehend the true scale of infinity.
