Robert Burck, (2nd, L) leads fellow entertainers Titus Gandy (2nd, R) Patricia Cruz (R) and Alejandra Velandia, to streets of Times Square from a car garage in New York on June 6, 2013. Burck, better known as the original 'Naked Cowboy,' started performing in Time Square in 1998. Burck, who claims to make up to $150,000 a year in tips alone, turned his success into a franchise and charges $500 a month for other street entertainers who perform in his likeness. In 2010 Burck announced his run for the President of the United States, has appeared in ad campaigns, has his own record label and is one of the more popular attractions in Times Square.
