The article doesn't bother to mention how high he claims to have gotten.


According to an article on AZCental.com:

The 62-year-old Chicago investment mogul said he and Norwegian co-pilot
Einar Enevoldson, 74, rode powerful rising air currents above the
remote Patagonia region on Tuesday, reaching a record 50,699 feet.

I was sent the article in an email and don't have the fiull URL.
