How does Kramer support himself?
Kramer won $18,000 ($600 at 30 to 1) on a horse (named Papa Nick) when he got a tip on the subway in “the Subway”. This, combined with his Coffee Table book royalties and whatever he made as a Calvin Klein underwear model, plus the fact that his apartment is rent controlled and he gets most of his food free from Jerry’s refrigerator, means Kramer never has a money problem. Also he could have earned some money in Los Angeles in “The Trip” by appearing on ‘Murphy Brown’. Kramer may have also received some sort of payment for being on strike [The Strike]. He acted out diseases for medical students to diagnose [The Burning”). Kramer also played Santa [The Race”). Kramer also poses in police line-ups for $50 [“The Beard”] and once worked as a stand-in on “All My Children”. In “The Muffin Tops”, Kramer charged $37.50 for a ride on the “Peterman Reality Tour”.
