How was he so wealthy when he only performed in small clubs for like 30 people?

NYC rent controlled apartment
3 sets a night @$150/set
$450 hour
Boomers could do anything and make millions
You gotta remember $100k a year was a lot back then
He was performed multiple times a week, went on late night tv shows, and even made cross country gripes for stand up. He was a big comedian
he wasn’t wealthy, he was just the most well off of the group. he didn’t really have an extravagant lifestyle, either.
Kramer was clearly the richest though
He ate outside for literally all of his meals
No Jerry easily was
>could afford 2 cadillacs
>bought a 1000 dollar jacket likes it no big deal
>could provide meals for Kramer and snacks to Elaine and George while feeding himself
His neighbor was a mail man
And the only he had in his apartment were cereals
That's just how people in New York live.
Kramer was a shut in for 10 years, he paid rent for a decade without working
George was bald
He was on Leno and tonight show and stuff all the time.
To be fair, there are tons of retards who do this and barely make any money.
A single man who makes $60k a year could afford to eat out every day if he wanted to, it would just be dumb. And that's today.
People forget Jerry’s parents were well off as well, they retired in the nice Florida homes. They probably passed some money down to him
>60k a year is barely any money
That puts you in like the top 5% of income earners
>they retired in the nice Florida homes
Florida is cheap you tard
You literally have to be earning 1,000,000$+ yearly to be doing ok in America now. Between 300k to 1mil is middle class. 100k to 300k is teetering on the edge. Below 100k is poor. Back then 100k was damn good money even for new york.
lmao no
How much did he make from one set to afford a brand new loaded Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham for his parents?
lmao get out of the basement
sets are like 30 mins long at most
Pre-gentrified New York seems like a cool place to live.
All of the group were reasonably wealthy, Jerry a minor celebrity and known entertainer. George and Elaine were both college educated professionals, George worked in real estate, had no problem getting executive level jobs at companies, same with Elaine, who also came from a rich family.
Kramer owned his apartment and car, and was sitting on a large sum that he could live off of paying only for basics.
no it fucking doesn't
You are so fucking retarded lmao
He sold audio recordings of his comedy, plus e did appearances on shows and acted in commercials
>he doesn’t know
Why did we never see Elaine's relatives except her dad that one time who was actually supposed to become a recurring character. She mentioned she had a nephew who was jerking off over her nipple picture. Seems like a wasted opportunity.
>poorfag coping over something that is easily googled
you deserve to live in your squalor
It's the Internet. Everyone here makes six figures
Can you make decent money off of gambling and sports betting? It seems like that’s all Kramer did
60k a year is the average income in America. Not everyone works at Taco Belll
He ate cereal for 90% of this meals
>60k a year is the average income in America
The average income in America is literally half of that, fucking moron
I swear in one of the earlier seasons she even says she has a sister
George was unemployed for basically the entire show
