Remember in "The Visa," George says that Kramer's whole life is a fantasy camp because he fell "ass-backwards into money." Leads me to believe he has inherited something. Although, I doubt he got it from his mother. She was only a matron in "The Switch," and she quit that job anyway. She was referred to as a drunken loudmouth in "The Nose Job," and Kramer's various 'recollections' of his childhood don't paint her as a very fortunate, wealthy woman. What about his father?

While watching The Seven I noticed that after Kramer fixes Elaine's neck, Jerry mentions how the ten seconds it took him was "The most work he's done in four months". Which was funny, but made me think what the hell was he up to four months ago.
Newman, you are wise!

I remember an episode where George says something, while talking about Kramer, like "he fell ass-backwards into money." It's also been mentioned that his father passed away years ago, so maybe it was inheritance?
In 'The Subway', Kramer is on his way to pay $600 in fines and tickets, then he hears a tip on a horse going off at 30-1. Given the compulsive gambler that Kramer is (was), I'm assuming he put the whole $600 down. At 30-1, he walked off with $18,000 in winnings.
I heard an interview with the real Kramer on the radio the other day and he said he made a lot of money by inventing electronic jewelry in the 70s when disco was big. My guess is the fictional Kramer made his money the same way, by inventing some weird thing.
I think an episode about this would be great. A flashback to when they were all just out of high school and trying to decide what to do with their lives, then Kramer does something weird and makes a bunch of money.

Talking of the charecters in high school, does anyone remeber the flash back scene in The Caddy. Elaine is telling the story about the bra-less wonder and we see Elaine as she was way back when. I'm being very male here but I have to say Elaine looks the best she's ever looked in that scene, staight hair, tight sweater, you do the math.
Have there been any other flash backs of the group in their younger days?
She's a natural beauty, no make-up, I like that.

I second the motion!! A flash back episode would be great!!
But is Kramer really the kind of character who would make a large pile of money last 20 years? My guess: trust fund.
