I have 6, but 1 isn't working as serving keg. I use that one as a secondary. You simply need to look at three numbers.
How often you brew, how many full kegs do you like to have at any given time, and how long it takes you to kick a keg. Then do the math, and you'll arrive at how many kegs you need. For me, 7 would be ideal, so I'm planning to buy one more.

I have 7 ball locks- 4 in the keezer, two out, and 1 that holds sanitizer full time, mostly because I don't like that one as much.

I have 6 ball lock kegs and 3 of the 2.5 mini kegs. The mini's are for test batches, playing around and when I want to keg half and bottle half.
I quit for now. My kegerator only holds 3 kegs and with the spares, my beer drinking and brewing schedule, I'm fine. Plus, SWMBO thinks kegs all over doesn't look so great.

14. I don't feel like I could ever have too many. Out of every batch 2 kegs go to friends, I keep 2 for myself and bottle the rest.

It varies.

All of them?

I only have five and all have some level of beer in them. My kegerator only holds four at a time so one got kicked out. One keg has a strong stout that I'm guessing will be consumed slower than usual and I just started fermenting 10 gallons of an Amarillo/Columbus IPA. Time to make some room for those
