Not many. I DM half the time, and the campaigns we play last a while.

Rogue/Arcane Trickster (15 months - campaign started in playtest, adapted character to PHB)
Paladin/Oath of the Ancients (3 months - campaign cut short)
Wizard/"Bladesinger" (2 sessions - died in OotA before reaching level 2 - current campaign)
Bard/College of Lore (2 months - current campaign)
 

I DM about 1/3 of the time for my home group in which we share DMing duties in Forgotten Realms. Each player and DM has a handful of characters that we rotate in and out based on the current adventure.

My characters thus far:
2 weapon fighting Battlemaster Fighter (6th level): recent rebuild (but not played) will be dueling Eldritch Knight Fighter (6) + Fiend Warlock (1)
draconic (fire) sorcerer (6th level)
life cleric (1)/wild sorcerer (3)
 

I've played a Rogue, a Fighter, a Ranger, and I've just rolled up a Bard. I'm interested in playing a spellcaster in 5E, but it hasn't been in the cards yet.
 

Half the time I DM, but the ones I've played more than just one session?

Halfling fighter (criminal background, skulker feat. 5e ported version of my AD&D f/t halfling)
Halfling battlemaster fighter (one of my favorites so far)
Goliath paladin
Dragonborn tempest cleric (my highest level PC at level 13)
Human Shadowmonk
Halfing abjurer
Human necromancer wizard
Tiefling ranger
Human fighter (acolyte background and magic initiate feat [guidance, light, protec from evil]) my current AL CoS PC.
 

Variant human bard
Half-orc rogue (arcane trickster)
Human rogue (swashbuckler)
Human fighter/cleric
Half-elf paladin (oath of vengeance)
Effigy bard (College of Jazz) ... this one has a lot of homebrewing for race and bard college, so it probably doesn't exactly count



There'd probably be more, but I mostly DM. EDIT: I'm kind of surprised how many characters I've gotten to play since I picked up 5e about 15 months ago. Neat!
