No one actually knows for sure.
That's as easy for me to answer as it is for you to give me 4 stars...not going to happen.

Okay I researched it and I found this-
Like the number of grains of sand on the beach or angels that can dance on the head of a pin, the number of stars in the sky remains a great unknown. Discussing the number of stars in the Milky Way alone, astronomer William Keel, writing for the sci.astro Galaxies FAQ, claims that there are "about as many as the number of hamburgers sold by McDonald's."
Thats alot of stars! But what I know is that stars burn out all the time and come back, so it is impossible to know.

There are an estimated 10^10 (10 billion) stars in the Milky Way..
there are an estimated 10^10 galaxies in the universe.. (pretty easy to remember so far, huh? ...*grin*) so that makes 10^20 stars total. Now if you meant: how
many can be SEEN in the night sky, then the answer is far, far smaller than 10^1 0, maybe a few thousand on a good, clear night.

Other star enumerators we located on the Web offer numbers ranging from more than 200 billion stars in our galaxy to 3 thousand million billion stars (3 followed by 16 zeroes), in the universe. NASA alleges there are zillions of uncountable stars

Countless. Stars are being born and are dying as we speak. Some stars have died years ago and they are so far away that their light source is just appearing to us, so we think they are actually there, when they are not.

Considering the fact that you don't know the difference between
"their" and "there".. we could say anything and you would believe it. I've heard there are more stars than there are sands on the beaches of the World.
