As of 19 February 2015, there have been 2,899 shark attacks worldwide with 548 fatalities since recordings were kept in 1580. If we specifically narrow it Great White Sharks, the numbers drop to 314 attacks of which 80 are fatal in the same time period. Of course, for most of that time, the type of shark attacking was not identified, so it is quite possible that a significant portion of the 400+ fatalities recorded as a shark attack were Great White Shark attacks as well.
