Fans discuss how Kramer affords his lifestyle and apartment, noting various income sources throughout the series including bagel shop work, book deal, modeling, acting gigs, and gambling winnings.
Is there an episode that offers an explanation for Kramer's financial independence? Unlike the pre-hand model/Yankee exec George, Kramer's never been in an unemployment line, can afford Jackie as his attorney, live in a decent apartment, etc. His mother works as a ladies room attendant so you'd think that might rule out inheritance, but this is Kramer we're talking about and anything goes. Anyone know? Thanks.

Well, he eats food at Jerry's. He has some kind of agreement about his apartment with Paul Buchman (from Mad About You). He worked at H&H Bagels, but was on strike (union money?). Coffee Table Book deal (movie rights to the book). Horse race money (Pappanick). CK underwear model. Acting job (Murphy Brown). Reality Tour. Invested in "fat free" yogurt. Santa gigs. Police line-up gigs. Stand-In for All my children. Acting illnesses for medical students. Extra in Woody Allen movie. Seat filler on a award show. Law suits...
I remember an episode where Jerry says about Kramer "falling ass backwards into money"
Can't remember the episode but I think that is the line.

He falls ass backwards into money.

And of course in "The Subway" he puts his $600 on a 30-1 longshot that comes in. $18 000 will last him a while.

Kramer did mention once he didn't pay taxes. Of course, Jerry said it was because he didn't have an income.
