That totally depends upon the construction of the material used to make the skin of the balloon, and the amount of available vacant space provided within the balloon. Rising in altitude, the atmospheric pressure will be less and less, so the balloon will expand (if the skin will permit that) to ten, twenty, and thirty times its volume on the Earth's surface.
Entering very high altitudes, the balloon will discover very cold air (around zero degrees F.) Most ruber balloon skins become very brittle when exposed to those temperatures and fail in moments. So, my guess is that a regular balloon might go up to 3 or 4 thousand feet before bursting. A weather balloon could go much higher and stay aloft much longer because of its special skin and large space for gas expansion. It is not unusual for weather balloons to reach 25 to 30,000 feet altitudes.

Till the air in the atmosphere is as thick as the density of helium, where it floats till the baloon tuptures.
