Usually 4-6. But they can live longer. Just keep them healthy! :-)

It really depends....... A friend told me hers lived for 10 years! Yet some pigs die kind of young like 3 or 4. If they live a happy, healthy life they should live a long time.

Could be longer

When we adopted our baby, we were told a well cared for, healthy, socialized pig can live 8-10 yrs.

Mine are quite young still. However, a friend of mine had a pig growing up and it was like 13-14 when it died. I think it all depends on health and genetics.
