No idea of a number, but it's tax free
There was a Sherlock Holmes story where a reporter decided to become a panhandler because it was more money and easier

Some of them are masters of HUCA and have no problem speaking to the same person.
They ask for retention bonuses.
They ask for termination fees.
Very churnable. The real experts churn every day. Others every month or year.
They always call the reconsideration department.
Some get instant approval and a 2bm with office and home. Husband and wife.
Others get rejected for too many pulls. Last 6 months matter most. 2 years of records are kept.
The applicants don't work, churning is their job. 
They have lots of points. Are frequent flyers.
Always fly in first class.
Tour the entire world. Chabad House not a requirement.
Some should be F/R'd.
Others need A/A.

LOL!
I never give them. When I'm davening, I'm davening (or whatever).
Disturbing me is not tolerated.

There was a Mishpachah article a few years back to that effect...

I've had the one throw the money back in my face cause it "wasn't enough".

[ari101]

I know someone with 14! kids -have no idea how he did it until this point- he claims that starting out with even a well paying will $1K wont b enough for him, he needs $2K a week so he started schnoring and earns that amount, I guess he's a professional...

Back in the day, my dads co-worker left his job. A few weeks later my father bumped into him shnorring in his shul. He asks him what happened. To which the shnorrer responded that he makes just as much as he did before, while working only a couple hours a day!

This same mamzer also drove around in a jaguar that he made sure to park a couple blocks away.

I saw a collector in CLE who had just hit me up earlier in shul eating it up at Contempo with steak and a nice bottle of wine.
Such is life it seems.

It's sad just how many stories there are like this. My bro in law tells me stories of guys he knows in Israel who schnorr and they own multiple apartments.
