Mine are on a turntable inside the cupboard, but I'd say about 25, give or take a few.

I probably have at least thirty. (probably need to weed through them.)

More than I care to count right now. My favorites are cumin, basil, cinnamon and cloves.

I have mine in a basket and the bigger containers are on a shelf... maybe 25-30. Some rarely get used, others are used several times a week. I probably need to go through some of them quicker before they lose their flavor.

I'm probably in the 25-30 range as well. My spice rack can't hold everything, so the lesser used ones are kept in the cupboard.

I got to a point 5 years ago when I threw everything away and started over again. I decided to buy just what I needed and used. Before that I had one of those spinning spice racks and only used 3 spices on it.
I started out with:
sea salt (grinder)
black pepper (grinder)
seasoning salt
Italian seasoning combo (basil/oregano/majoram)
cinnamon
garlic
crushed red pepper
cayenne pepper
cumin
In the last few years we've expanded to experiment with:
curry blend
tumeric
hungarian paprika
ginger
coriander
thyme
sage
tarragon
caraway seed
Not all of those is going to make the cut. They're coming up on 6 months old so I need to do a purge. Maybe after my oregano, basil, sage and rosemary finish drying.
When I'm all done I should end up with a good solid 12 spices that we use on a fairly regular basis. I keep my spices in a kitchen cupboard.

My "spice rack" covers two shelves in one of my cabinets. A conservative estimate is 50 different spices, herbs, and blends. I'd say I use all but maybe two or three.

curry blend
Just so you know, curry blends are different. If you don't like this one, try another. Don't give up too easy because when you find one you like, it is so handy for so many things. I use it on deviled eggs, rice and leftover chicken to make it different from the night before. I use McCormick (mild).
I have about 25 spices on hand.

Basil

I'm sure there are a few mixed things in there too like rotisserie seasoning but I don't use them

About 30. There are some I rarely use, though.
Mine are in two baskets.

but I have more than I could count. Some of them, I don't even know what they are! When my husband's grandmother moved in with her daughter, she gave me all her spices. It was very generous of her because spices are expensive.
