I consider myself a pretty die-hard seinfeld fan, there's only about a dozen episodes I haven't seen. But for some reason I still have no clue as to where Kramer gets his money from, he has no steady job that I know of. Please help James

let's see he's posed for Calvin Klein, sued Java world, collected cans, and much much more...

as far as i know, there's nothing steady - just quirky things that pop up and give him cash or stuff he wants

Maybe he's still raking in the profits from his coffee table book...

I'm in mystery too, dude. I mean, SSI only gets you so far. Maybe he lives in a rent-controlled pad that he grew up in and the rent hasn't gone up since 1962.

I seem to remember something about Jerry saying that money just seems to fall in to Kramer's lap. To be more exact I think he said he falls "ass backwards " into money. I'm not sure though.

He cleaned up at the track awhile back. "His mudder's a mudder..."

Yeah, I remember that too. I think it was George though. I have no idea what episode.

As Kramer says - "Oh, I get by!"

Here's a list of Kramer's many short-term jobs and ventures that I remember:

tennis court ball man dept. store Santa Soap opera stand in Bit part in Woody Allen movie Role of secretary in Murphy Brown Tryouts for appearances in commercials Author of The Keys Manuscript Posed for self-portrait Chaperone for Miss Rhode Island Caretaker for Injured Bette Midler Author of coffee table book substitute hansom cab driver host for renovated Alex theater Make your own pizza rest. (with Popi) Selling old raincoats (with Mr. Seinfeld) Bro/Manzeer (with Frank Costanza) Selling old records (with Newman) returning bottles and cans to Michigan (with Newman) appearing in lineups at police station posing for own line of Calvin Klein underwear

I think he owns the building, but nobody knows. He's always at Jerry's borrowing food cause he's lonely. Remember the first episode when he was a recluse.

His income is surely a mistery! He falls his ass backward into money!

who cares? maybe he's like a millionare and is just spending it slowly. :) I was watching a seinfeld episode a little while ago and Jerry had a bag of grocieries and he knocked on kramers door and he left the bag at the door and he went into the apartment.. i guess thats where kramer gets his food from. :)

I heard from an absolute never-missed-a single -episode Seinfeld that Kramer's income is from lottery winnings!!!! I am still liooking for evidence of this, but it makes sense! Just thought you might be interested!!

I think may have been a bag of garbage Jerry deliberately left on Kramer's door. Because George wouldn't take it away for him.

Kramer does gamble...and he always has a scheme going. But, he is no millionaire. Remember when Kramer said it was going to be hard being Jerry's friend after he saw how much he made?

I always figured Kramer sponges off his friends, makes some quick cash here and there with his crazy schemes, and collects welfare.

I've never thought of Kramer as one to go on welfare, but I figure the money he makes from all his schemes does last until he comes up with another idea.

quick cash

Kramer supposdly models underwear for his income. That's what he said in one episode.

I thought that he and George's father hit it big on 'The Bro' or 'The Manziere'.

It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, and I happen to be wearing Alpo underwear.

Wasn't this semi-plagiarized from Norm on Cheers? "It's a dog-eat-dog world, Sammy, and I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear."

Yes -- you are right. I wish Lizard3796 would get it right, because that "happen to be" is getting annoying. I posted the same question a few days ago but didn't see a reply. I'm hoping Lizard will correct it.
