GEORGE: "Kramer goes to a fantasy camp. His whole life is a fantasy camp. People should plunk down two-thousand dollars to live like him for a week. Do nothing, fall ass-backwards into money, mooch food off your neighbors and have sex without dating; that's a fantasy camp."

That's just one of those built in tv land things that is never completely revealed, just like Jerry & Newman's fued, it's known, but never properly explained.

Since his schemes usually involved chump change, & not the kind of regular bank you could live on, I'm going to assume maybe he has inherited some ducket$ from his also never explained dad, since his mom still worked as a bathroom matron when we knew her in the show (097 The Switch).

The Kman was just one of those guys that shiznit always happened to (good & bad). Here's a few things he did during the run of the show:

The following is thanx to & under copyright (c) 1997-1998 by Adam Rainbolt and Dave Antonoff (ratboy) :
>>>jobs:
H & H Bagels (on strike since before the beginning of the show)
Brant-Leland (no pay)
Author of coffee table book
Actor
Underwear model

more:
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".
