In that case, my earlier submission still stands: 8,008,000,000,808,833. That was composed assuming no restrictions on allowable words.

In that case I submit

8'008'808'808'808'813

which I read as

acht Billiarden acht Billionen achthundertacht Milliarden achthundertacht Millionen achthundertachttausendachthundertdreizehn
