Depends.....
Explanation:
It depends how you measure "highest point". If you take it as being defined as the point which is the greatest distance from the centre of the Earth, then it is actually isn't Everest, but the Ecuadorian mountain Chimborazo.
In terms of elevation above sea level it is actually less than Everest, but due to its location along the equatorial bulge the summit is indeed the point furthest from the centre of the Earth.
