Two theatres: the Globe and the Blackfriars.
None. Shakespeare did not own any theatres. He did have a share (1/8) in a couple. (Does owning a share in General Motors mean you own General Motors? I think not.) His first investment was in the Globe Theatre in 1599
William Shakespeare spent considerable time and money obtaining a grant of arms for his father. That meant that his father had his own personal coat of arms which William (being the eldest son) would inherit on his death. It also meant that he could call himself "Mr. William Shakespeare" or "William Shakespeare, gent."; without the grant of arms he was plain "William Shakespeare."
The theatre most associated with William Shakespeare was the Globe which was in London. Although the original building was destroyed, a modern but good representation has been rebuilt close to the location of the original. Although Shakespeare acted in it (among other places) and his plays (among others) were performed there, Shakespeare was not responsible for constructing theGlobe Theatreand did not own it, having only a one-eighth monetary interest in it.
