Currently there are only two planets with satellites orbiting them, Mars (a few of them) and Saturn (Cassini). All the planets excluding Uranus and Neptune have had satellites orbiting them at some point. We do also have two satellites orbiting minor objects and they are orbiting Comet 67-P (Rosetta) and the dwarf planet Ceres (Dawn).

I believe the largest artificial satellite in orbit around the Earth at the moment is the International Space Station. It's estimated weight at completion will be 520 tons.
