Does anybody know how Kramer supports himself financially?
Does Kramer have a job?
Fans discuss how Kramer financially supports himself, noting the show never clearly explains his income despite living in a nice Manhattan apartment.
A friend of mine told me that he had a trust fund, but I would really like some verification on this.

That's the one great thing about TV! As far as I know, Kramer doesn't do anything, nor has he inherited anything, but is still well off enough to live in a nice building in New York! I love it!

Kramer got his money throught a inheritance.What show was this mentioned on?
I always was under the impression that it was unresolved, like his name use to be.

This issue has been hashed over so many times. Kramer is an entrepreneur (mostly). Some of the ways he has earned money are:
Coffee table book "Beach" cologne Calvin Klein ad Santa Claus at the department store Marketing the Manzier or Bro Used records Trenchcoats (rather unsuccessful) Working as a stand-in on a soap opera he's had other jobs too... I just can't think of the rest. Can You?
Kramer once worked as a horse drawn carriage driver.
Don't forget "Make your own pizza." Poppy collaborated with Kramer on this little enterprise until Poppi peed on Jerry's new couch.

In the episode with Jerry's bad haircut, Kramer takes his place at Elaine's bachelor auction and when she is itroducing him she says he is self employed.
In the episode from this season: the one where Jerry is convinced to wear someone else's glasses so that he and (?) won't have to sit next to some annoying guy in a theatre; also, Elaine gets splashed with water and walks around without noticing that her blouse is literally sticking to her body; and George tries to convince his girlfriend that he is -not- crazy.
Anyway, Kramer appears to be working at a classic movie theatre. I never understood why, but I definitely got the impression that he worked, or volunteered, there.

No, Kramer does not have a job. He does get short-term stints on occasion (like the horse-drawn carriage driver and the tennis ball retriever) but those are for pleasure, not for money. Kramer is independently wealthy, though they've never explained how he got that way. His mother is a washroom attendant.
In the fantasy baseball camp episode, George remarks how Kramer fell "ass-backwards" into money.

Also in one of the episodes ( can't remeber which) Kramer was saying how he has a new job and Jerry said : " You mean *A* job."
Evilette.
My guess is he has to be a lottery winner. An inheritance would somehow have included his mom, who doesnt seem to have money.

I do not think this pays much if anything!!!!!!!
I think the self-employed thing was either a euphemism or just being nice since who would bid for an unemployed guy?

Can You?
he is

lived partnership with Poppy. I think Kramer is more of an entrepreneur-selling Mr. Costanza's cruise wear, trying to sell Mr. Seinfeld's beltless trench coats, the Bro,and of course his attempt at becoming a proffesional senior golf player.

He was once Santa Claus too, but got fired because of his communistic utterances to the children...

I think only the Kramer knows...
My guess is that he has inherited a small fortune. Kramers so rich he seeks out "careers" on the side for something to pass time. He very well could own the building Jerry, Kramer & Newman live in and collect rents through a third party!?!
Just a thought, Travis
I think Kramer is just an idea man. Kinda like Wile E. Coyote (Super-Genius) GO COSMO!!!
Remember his Mom works as a restroom attendent so I think inherited wealth is very unlikely.
He was also Santa Claus one year at a department store. (The one about communism)

He has been known to play the track, though. Remember the horse he bet on: He's a mudda. His mutha was a mudda.

Actually Kramer has two jobs, he sells marijauna, and he also does porno movies. This is the darker side of life that nobody wants you to see.

Also He just got a haircut. Yes, I know this has nothing to do with the subject.
