How many languages must you speak to be considered a hyperglot?

In all my years of studying languages it is fairly clear from my contacts with linguists, translators, educators, etc., that a polyglot is someone who high proficiency / fluency in three or more languages. There doesn’t seem to be a consensus on who is a hyperglot. I have been told by some that mastery of six languages makes you a hyperglot and by others that it takes mastery of up to ten languages to be a hyperglot.
What say you?
