Licensed balloon pilot here... The only manned balloon for which you don't need a license (in the US) is an ultralight, weighing less than 155lbs empty.
They do exist, though. They're commonly called "cloudhoppers". They are basically a climbing harness, backpack straps on a propane tank, and an overhead flamethrower, all hanging underneath a pup tent.
Edit: you can increase the weight to 254lbs empty if instead of a "balloon", you build a "thermal airship". Balloons are considered unpowered aircraft because they have no source of propulsion, only lift. Throw some source of propulsion on board - a small electric fan, for example - and it becomes a "powered" aircraft with a higher weight limitation.
How cool, more about cloudhoppers if you're curious like me. It looks like they start around $23,000, which is a lot considering you can get into paragliding for a lot cheaper than that I think. I would rather paraglide.
