Need to select the record with the highest ID 1

[farley99]

Select highest_id FROM people where firstname LIKE chri*;

Where highest_id is the primary key auto-increment and the data contains
chris
chrissy
christain
chirstopher

What is the correct syntax for this? I want to find the one added most recent

Select * 
  FROM people 
 where firstname LIKE 'chri%'
   order by highest_id desc
   limit 1
