It varies considerably, but supergiant blue-white stars are probably short-lived - they are almost runaway engines for converting hydrogen to helium, and they burn through their supply at a fast clip. They are something analogous to a very powerful automobile engine that is always run at top speed on the track. That engine isn't going to last 200,000 miles. The very hot supergiants end their lives as supernovas - the most cataclysmic force known in nature. "Average-average" stars (like our sun) live about 8 billion years. Our sun is about halfway through it's life right now.

From a few hundred thousand to many billions of years. Smaller ones are stable for longer times.
