Michelin generally rates places like hotels and restaurants with Michelin stars. Chef Central, however, is a chain of stores specializing in cooking equipment, so it is not rated by Michelin.
Joël Robuchon has 21 michelin stars, the most of any chef in the world.
The biggest recognition a chef can get is getting three Michelin stars for their restaurant. The Michelin Guide prices restaurants, and three stars suggest the food is excellent, the chef is surely skilled, and the complete eating experience is outstanding. It's a super-prestigious and rare honor in the cooking world.
As of 2021, chef Joel Robuchon holds the record for the most Michelin stars in the world with 31 stars awarded to his various restaurants. He was known for his culinary expertise and innovative approach to French cuisine.
It depends on how you think the stars are allocated. Michelin always say that the stars are allocated to the restaurant, for the food it serves, and not specifically to the chef. The maximum number of stars that any restaurant can receive is three. However, if a chef runs several restaurants (for example Joel Robuchon) then each of his restaurants can have a maximum of three stars, so it could be said that a chef has ten or fifteen stars, when all his restaurant stars are added together.

Marco Pierre White is a celebrity chef, TV personality and restaurateur. He was born in Leeds on December 11, 1961. Marco no longer has any Michelin stars as he returned the three of them when he retired in 1999.
In 2008 there were 68 three star places. See www.3starrestaurants.com for a full list. The Michelin guides actually come out over several months, from October to March, so the answer is a bit of a moving target until March. The 2009 results are almost in, with the France guide out today. There is then a "Main Cities of Europe" guide due in late march which covers main cities in Scandinavia and eastern Europe. In theory this could add more three star places, though up until now the highest rated place in Scandinavia is two star. The site that I maintain will be updated as soon as the 2009 ratings are confirmed i.e. tomorrow. The site also shows some history of the 3 star ratings and my reviews of the places.
