A president can be in office a total of two terms. Some presidents have been in office a little longer than that, but after Roosevelt was elected 4 times, a law was passed that 8 years was the limit. People wanted George Washington to be in office longer than 8 years, but he refused not wanting America to have anyone like a king. (The whole reason why we fought the Revolutionary War.)
It's 10 years. If the vice-president succeeds a sitting president and serves 2 years or less of that president's term then the vice-president can still serve 2 terms of 4 years each (assuming he can get elected) so that's 2 + 4 + 4 = 10. That's the only way that can happen. If a person is elected to the office of president then it's 2 terms = 8 years. But the maximum any person could conceivably serve is 10 years.

There is no fixed length of the office of president world-wide; there are several nations that have presidents. In the United States the standard term is 4 years in length, starting January 20 following the November elections. A US president can currently be elected to 2 terms and no more. However, a US president could serve up to 10 years. If the next-in-line takes the office of president from a president who is no longer able to serve, and if the time left is less than half of the term, the new president may still run for and serve two terms of his/her own. If the time left is more than half of the former president's term, the new president can run for only one four-year term of his/her own.
