Over the past three decades more than 100 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) were measured using the reverberation mapping technique. This technique uses the response of the line emission in the Broad Line Region (BLR) to continuum emission variation and yields a measure for the distance of the BLR from the central Black Hole (BH). This in turn is used to measure the BH’s mass. Almost all of these measurements are of low-luminosity AGNs while for quasars with luminosities higher than 1046 rg s−1 there are hardly any attempts of reverberation mapping. This contribution reports on recent results from a two-decades campaigns to measure the BH mass in high-luminosity quasars using the reverberation mapping technique. BLR distance from the BH, BH mass, and AGN UV luminosity relations over eight orders of magnitude in luminosity are presented, pushing the luminosity limit to the highest point so far.
