There is one star in the Milky Way Galaxy.
A galaxy is defined as a star system, in which a plantary rotation, or something similar thereof, is the definition of a galaxy. Our sun is that one star (Sol).
Your question should be rephrased to "How many stars are there in the Milky Way "Star Cluster?""
