Looking for a New Job? Homeless Man Makes $200/Hour Begging for Money

0

Are you tired of your day job? Are you looking to make more money?

Well, according to a report by NYPost, a “homeless” man in New York City makes $200 an hour.

The former theater crew member apparently makes $400 in two hours by sitting on the street corner with his 9-year-old dog.

From the NYPost:

A panhandler outside Grand Central Terminal says he rakes in up to $200 an hour from kind-hearted New Yorkers.

And the 43-year-old former theater stagehand is only one of a legion of beggars in the city hauling in big bucks and a smorgasbord of food doing nothing but sitting on the sidewalk with hands out.

“On a Friday morning, I make $400 in two hours,’’ said Will Andersen, who was with his 9-year-old dog, Rizzo, on East 42nd Street between Vanderbilt and Madison avenues on Tuesday.

Apparently, this is all legal. The NYPost talked to Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and he responded by saying to stop giving people money. “I have gotten $80 or $100 from a single person. And they will say, ‘Just do something good tonight.’ They mean go to a hotel or a hostel,’’ he said. “I get people who give me five bucks each day. Five bucks each day, that’s five days a week, two people — that’s $50 a week right there. I get dog food. I put away for rent. I pay $300 a month, that’s nothing.”
