It is limited to four wives at same time. It was unlimited in other religions and faiths before Islam religion per Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad (PBUH). However, this allowance in Islam religion is subject to conditions that makes this license allowed to be practiced in very limited conditions. The most important condition is that one should treat his wives equally and with no minor discrimination which is extremely difficult for a man to maintain and satisfy this condition. However this right may be exercised during times of war because of the shortage of men and to protect women from satisfying their sexual and financial needs through illegal sexual relationships. It may legitimate for one to marry the widow of his brother, if acceptable to both partners; to take care of her and her children. Also, it may legitimate for one to marry another woman if his former wife is lifetime ill or can't fulfill marriage sexual and birth obligations. In all cases, former wife (or wives) should agree with the husband to marry a further woman otherwise they have the right to seek divorce.

they can only have one. it was in the very old times that some Muslim man had more than one wife and that was because all the man were gone to war and th ewomen were left alone and poor since they couldn't work. the only reason to why some men had more than one wife was so that they could take care of them..otherwise the women and children would starve without a husband to work.
Islam gives a man permission to marry two, three or four women, only on the condition that he deals justly with them.
In the chapter Surah Nisa verse 129 says:
"Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women...." [Al-Qur'an 4:129]
Many people are under the misconception that it is compulsory for a Muslim man to have more than one wife
Before the Qur'an was revealed, there was no upper limit for Polygamy and many men had scores of wives, some even hundreds.
Qur'an is the only religious book on the face of the earth that says 'marry only one'. The context of this phrase is the following verse from Surah Nisa of the Glorious Qur'an:
"Marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one." [Al-Qur'an 4:3]
The Muslim man is entitled to marry up to a maximum of four wives but subject to certain conditions.
