This letter considers the development of a massive black hole which presumably formed 10 billion years ago at the center of the Galactic nucleus and then grew as a result of the disruption of stars by its own tidal forces and accretion of the released gas. It is shown that if the initial mass of the black hole was somewhat in excess of 100 solar masses, the hole could have grown to a mass of between 4 million and 100 million solar masses in 10 billion years. It is concluded that since gas accretion onto a black hole of such large mass would produce a luminosity much higher than that observed for the Galactic nucleus, the value of 100 solar masses may be regarded as an upper limit on the mass of a black hole at the Galactic center.
