There are 888 'published' types which means types that are
co-typed with a /freebase/type_profile.

There are actually around 2396 types currently in the system.

The main distinctions between user's private types and
public types is that 1. the public types are in a namespace
which itself is in namespace '/' and 2. public types are 
marked as such with /freebase/type_profile/published = 'Published'

Here is a small MJT app that displays all the public and
then private types in the system:
