How „big“ ist a singularity? How can some black holes have more mass than others and still have all that mass in a single point?

Singularities are purely mathematical artefacts. They are a sympthom of our mathematical theories failing, i.e. when we divide by 0. There is no reason to assume they are a real thing.
