They learn around 2000 in school. Usually that is the number you need to be considered as educated, but you need around 4000 to read books and newspapers. I think there are people that know more than 10 000 kanji.
Is an official dictionary there are over 47 000. Of course many of these are variations or combinations.

Kanji words? Did you mean the kanji or the words written with kanji?
sonoshee is right, they learn about 2000 in school (常用漢字 Jouyou kanji). But IMHO, I think you don't need to learn 4000 kanji to be able to read a normal newspaper. Of course there are some people (like university professors) who knows more than 2000 kanji.
