Passed by a quad copter drone off right wing tip. In sight for roughly two seconds. Amazed to see one at this altitude. Was monitoring Chicago approach but changed frequency to Milwaukee approach to report this as Chicago radio was far too busy in my estimation. One passenger (of two) on board also saw this briefly but was not sure what he saw as he observed it after I had snapped off the autopilot and turned left briefly. Distance estimated based on object observed; four horizontal props; long silver and dark body with camera mounted on end facing our opposite direction. Observation time was very brief. No aircraft hit; no injuries. Just a tad alarming.
