We evaluate in perturbative QCD, up to order $\alpha_s^4$, the mass of the$B_c$. We use the so-called 1S-mass in order to improve the convergence of theperturbative series. Our result is $E(B_c)_{pert} = 6326^{+29}_{-9}$ MeV.Non-perturbative effects are discussed. A comparison with potential modelsseems to be consistent with non-perturbative contributions of the order $ -(40\div 100)$ MeV.Comment: 14 pages, revtex, 2 figures, minor changes, discussion on the non-perturbative corrections added, final version to appear in Phys. Rev.
