A multimeter can only read under 1 kVolt.
How can I measure High Voltage?
voltage devider 2 resitors.
1 to 2
or
1 to 10
for example.
Use hi ohm resitor (if using his with DVM )
9,1Meg-ohm to 9.1 Kohm
5,1 to 5.1kohm
and so on

See these (ask them if those measure AC voltage (max 50-60Hz) too if you wish to measure HV AC)

Those are for use with a Fluke oscilloscope. It divides the high voltage tested by a factor of 1000. My son-in-law has one like that and he uses it to mesure bemf on my Newman replications. I don't know if they can be used with multimeter.
Take care,
