It is not known as there are no accurate records going back that far. The United States keeps the most detailed records, and even then official U.S. records only go back to 1950 and do not accurately record the number of tornadoes until the 1990s. Most countries do not keep detailed records of tornadoes and many tornadoes that touch down are never recorded.

At a guess, based on U.S. statistics from the past couple decades, the worldwide number of tornadoes in the past 100 years is probably in the hundreds of thousands.
