There is only one sun in the universe, so the answer to the question is simple "One". However, there is no theoretical limit to the number of stars that a planet can orbit. There is at least one planet, HD 131399Ab orbiting the triple star system: HD 131399 in the constellation Centaurus..

I don't think there is a specific limit; if several stars are rather close to one another, and the planet far enough, they would have a stable orbit.
