star systems - How many planets does Omicron Persei have?

Currently http://exoplanet.eu/ (which lists more exoplanets than the official NASA archive) lists no known planets of Omicron Persei. So currently we know of none, it is outside of the Kepler field so has no Kepler candidates either.



Though just because none are known that does not mean it has none, it may be that their mass and or orbital plane is such that it is very difficult to identify planets or no one has looked with a suitable instrument.
