I found, I suspect, a more accurate table. The first link simply multiplied the prior cound by 2.91 for each gain in magnitude.
This
star count table seems to be more accurate. The "Count" column is accumlative and has much fewer stars per magnitude than the prior site.

Since I have seen a mag 14 star that was "sold", I would guess they are already past mag 12.

Wow. That would have to be some kind of rip-off record if they sold that many star names (I presume, 2nd only to credit card companies charging > 20% interest.
).
