how many people are in the world?

Answer 1

6,520,596,828 at the time of my posting.

That's the up-to-the-minute estimate from the US Census bureau.

EDIT ----------
In response to question from another asker, that estimate is based on many factors and is only an estimate. "The populations displayed on the clock are not intended to imply that the population of the world is known to the last person. Rather, the clock is our estimate of the world population size and an indication of how fast it is growing."

Also interesting is the US population clock:

They list here their assumptions on births and deaths.
