It seems like every other episode Jerry gets hit for at least a grand, usually as a result of some stupid scheme from Kramer or George. Has anyone made a list of just how much Jerry has been screwed for over the years?
Jerry's Losses
Fans compile a list of all the money and possessions Jerry has lost throughout the series due to schemes by his friends, including thousands spent on repairs, replacements, and donations.
You're right. Jerry's paid out a lot over the years.
$1500 for the washing machine $400 for the cable installation (not to mention repair/replacement of the cracked screen) repairs/cleaning of his car (George hitting pothole, smelly valet, crazed mechanic) New sofa ruined (Poppy) many more
Jerry's donation to the Volcano Relief Fund (The Truth) Throwing out all his possessions (The Pothole) Buying back the Cadillac (The Money) Replacing a stolen TV, stereo, etc. (The Robbery)

That was $4000. I think he took an $8000 loss on the Cadillac.
Another one was paying for the repairs to Becky Gelke's car (after it was hit by the psycho-bitch from hell). I think that was about another grand.

You left out the $2000 from George hitting the ambulance with Jerry's rented Ford escort ! hehe

Throw in the $300 to buy back his watch from Uncle Leo. On the subject, does anyone find the characters spending/carrying of money to be realistic? Who would carry over $300 in their wallet to go out to dinner, especially in NYC? Along with the above examples of "throwing around money like it was nothing", how about when they bought the Drake a large screen TV for his wedding? The Drake was not even a close friend, and they buy him a large screen TV?
That reminds me, he probably had to pay for repairs to the car his
'personal assistant' drove into a swimming pool on the way back
from Ithica.

Don't forget when George crashed Jerry's rental car, and the accident wasn't covered by the insurance because the policy didn't cover "other drivers". I think it amounted to something around $2500. And Jerry always just takes it in stride, like it's a bit inconvenient to fork over all that money but it doesn't ever seem to put him into bankruptcy.

There was that time when Jerry's dad lost his wallet, so Jerry buys him a new one and puts $400 in it. Then his dad throws it away because it has Velcro.
It's so funny how the Seinfelds just randomly throw stuff in the trash...and Uncle Leo is conveniently there to pick it up.
Don't forget the Cadillac he bought for his parents.
^^^^^^^^ Good one Bruce!
Didn't Jerry lose some money on investments that George was getting him in on? There was someone in the hospital that was supposed to be _in the know_ about all of this. Did Jerry lose on this one, or did he just back out before the investment paid off? I can't remember.
Jerry lost quite a bit, whereas George made a bundle.

I haven't, but they add it up in the Seinfeld issue of Entertainment Weekly. I seem to remember the total being around $30,000. That's quite a bundle.
You also have to take into account that he has also lost a couple of grands due to uncle Leo and his parents (buying the car twice, the watch, etc.) , it seems like if comedians get paid very well.
