Been playing Max since about March last year, and he's 49.4, and has been 49.4 since the end of October.
My previous main, Gabe, was created on the second day of CoH going live, and has never gotten above level 18, especially now that I've restarted him due to some bad power choices. 
Wamdue took 500 odd hours
471 hours on Doulos
340 hours on Blapper
see sig for builds
With Blaze I'm at 474 hours and I haven't played that much since I hit 50 - so I'd say roughly 460-470 hours. I've been playing ever since whatever my "Reged" date says under my avatar
It usually takes about 450 hours to get to 50, at least that's how long it took me on my scrapper and defender.
363 hours for Idris now, not many of those after I hit 50
Edge, 750, but more than half of that was spent Roleplaying.
Saphire, 285, which is pretty fast, if I do say so myself.

Hahaha I'm in the lead with 264 hours then
That was my second char, first took 483 odd.
Currently on 630+ hours, with no real roleplay. Plenty of exemping though...
Have been playing since just before I3 came out and still have no 50.
I have a severe case of Altitis however, as once I hit c.30ish I start twitching for those quick early levels. No patience me 
First took me about 390hours, Second took me 290hours, 3rd took me about 250hours. On my 4th, level 30 in 57 hours...
636 hours and no 50...
Anjos got there in just under 600, but i spent a lot of time just chatting etc. or running back from the hospital
Errrrrrm... 
February 4th 2005 (or whatever the date was CoH went live in europe) to February 22nd 2006.
Not sure about the actual hours, i'll ask a friendly ped later.
Devidose dinged 50 23 hours ago, total play time since july last year? 565 hours
this is however brought about by mindless running around for badges, dancing under atlas and of course: messing about with the jingle jet

Believe it or not, Brit-Man (my second lvl 50) only took 120 hours to get to lvl 50, but I wanted to do it as quick as possible as I5 had been announced and my sheer invincibility was doomed!
And just so you're clear, that's without any powerlevelling...just I4 solo fire/fire tank hunting.
Atlas Park->Hollows->Boomtown->Terra volta->Brickstown->Crey's Folly-> then some mission arcs ->Rikti Crash site -> more missions -> lvl 50!!!
I actually got to lvl 41 in 90 hours, so could've easily hit 50 in less than 120, but I started doing missions and being, well...sociable after that instead of just solo hunting in Hazard zones. 
Herding Freaks in Terra volta in the twenties, and Crey's Folly in the thirties - best fun i've EVER had with this game! Fun at the time, I might add, but I'm totally herded out now!
Now he's on about 250 hours, and I have badges and everything!
EDIT: forgot to mention, my first lvl 50 took about 550 hours, which was why I went for speed over content on Brit
Golden Golem got to level 50 sometime in january and had clocked up 279 hours. He was originally created in May or June 2005 I think, but went on hold quite a few times ( S4, I6 among others ).
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
Sharp Shot I think was 650 hrs about Rock Eagle 340 hrs but itnot about how fast you do it its about how much fun you had getting there. And I had loads of fun getting to 50 on both toons.
My 50s Time to level:
Raziel DX 672 hours
Raziel D-X 680 hours
Hot Chills 505 hours
Raziel. 960 hours
Raziel-DX 572 hours
Total Time for 50s: 3389 hours
O.o
Proves I spend too much time here.. LoL

you spend too much time posing in atlas
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
With Paragon Starlet i was 485 hours, with Starlet i was 630 (spent too much time [censored] about in Atlas)
@Psychochill & @Psychochill.
don't know how many hours it took.. my fire/ice tank i got him to 50 in 5 weeks.
don't know about the others
Well, I signed up for CoH about two weeks after it went live in Europe and finally got my first 50 just before Christmas.
Not sure how many hours that took but I suspect it was quite a bit higher than the average number of hours as I exemped a lot.
That said, I should have really had my first 50 just after I5 as I started with a fire/dev blaster who made it to 31 before I abandoned him to switch to a katana/regen scrapper. The scrapper got to 42 before the Instant Heal nerf and ED hit him for 6. I could have persevered and got him to 50 but he is just no longer fun to play so it was back to the drawing board and soldiering through with a tank.
Abandoning my scrapper was a real sore point for me. After all the different AT's and builds I tried out, the pre-ED regen was definitely the most fun to play and to get to lvl 42 and have your build not just 'tweaked' but totally destroyed to the point where your whole play style has to be radically changed was a real low point for me 
Managed to get my level 40 on CoV within 2 months of launch though and was very proud of that as I picked my build before the game went live and avoided some of the 'uber' Brute and MM builds for a team oriented Corruptor. Roll on lvl 40+ content so I can actually get him some attack powers as I've really skimped on his primaries to make him as much of a team build as possible.
How long did it take you to get to lvl50?(directed at all lvl50s)
Just started playing again.
Ive been playing since February '05 but had a loooong break.
