Was Jerry rich? On the show I mean

If he was rich (and not simply "doing alright"), it wasn't apparent on the show. Kind of a dumpy apartment.

Moderately successful comedian with Jewish parents who saved money

His apartment looks like its well over 1000 feet squared which in Manhattan coats you probably 40k in rent

>>86696856
fuck you

>>86696922
But he also lived on the same floor as Kramer and Newman

>>86696856
Pretty decent apartment and in NYC no less so it had to be quite expensive

>>86696856
What was Jerry's job on the show?

There are rent controlled apartments and other kinds of fuckery that can possibly guarantee you a nice place on a moderate income of you are super lucky. He did buy a 1000 usd jacket at one episode though and those were 80s didridoos so they were worth even more.

In universe he's a minor celebrity. He does tours of the nation, and appears on late night TV. He'd be recognized on the street, and there would be the occasional /tv/ thread about him. But he wasn't a mega star.

Comedian.

>>86697260
Comedian. Right?

They made a point of him both being rich and having a good deal on his apartment (Elaine wanting to get in on it).

trust fund and he was jewish so he was smart with money

Does Jerry even have a landlord? I mean he could have inherited the flat from his grandma or something.

>>86697373
It's a wonder that it's not about people like him that Michael Richards snapped.

rent control

t. greedy Jew nouveau riche

Any 90s sitcome has guys and girls living in apartments that would have been chaep in early 80s/70s/earlier but astronomically expensive rom late 80s onwards as Jew policies (muh diversity) made everything expensive.

>>86697401
>trust fund

What were his in-universe parents though? They are in a decent but nothing special retirement home in Florida. They didn't strike me as loaded.

>>86696633
He bought that insanely expensive jacket on a whim.

yes he bought his dad a cadillac with a single nights earnings

>>86697426
Fat Italian guy who was getting cucked by Newman.

>>86697308
>>86697328
Thanks. For a comedian he's well off then.

why did jerry agree to switch apartments? seems like a weird move desu

>>86697491
Some low level job in the textile industry. He invented beltless trenchcoats and went to work with Peterman.

He's loaded, at least in the later seasons. In s7 Elaine wants to get back with Jerry after learning how much money he has. He also buys a new cadillac for his parents.

>>86696633
he definitely had money. I remember one episode where Elaine see one of his checks for something and she immediately wets herself

>>86697043
>Newman
Probably unionized if he's working a public job in a major city.
>Kramer
Can be oddly persuasive and entrepreneurial.

>>86697609
For people like Jerry an apartment is just a place to bring sluts home to bang, or for taking naps and showers. he doesn't care which one he's in

>>86696856
you're joing, right? upper west side 90s NYC apartment like that? jerry was loaded.

>>86697609
He didn't want his friend to lose his job, because he felt guilty.

>>86697484

Surely population growth is what affected housing prices the most.. 2,5 billion in 1950s vs 7,5 today..

What did Jerry use his computer for?

it's definitely implied that he's reasonably well-off

>>86696633
that one show where Elaine sees how much he got paid for one gig so she starts acting like a whore to him

>>86697673
>In s7 Elaine wants to get back with Jerry after learning how much money he has.

What a fuckin bitch.

kramer was given the apartment. he also made money from horse betting

>>86698015

I rate it realism/10

There was an episode where Kramer finds out how much Jerry made and he was shocked. So he's definitely well off in the show.

>>86697292
/thread. Pretty stupid question, OP.

yes desu there were several occasions: cadillac for his dad, when elaine finds out how much she makes she acts like a whore, when he bought back the watch from uncle leo and he has 600 bucks in his wallet like its nothing

>>86697756
To be fair, people on 4chan are from all over the place so Jerry's apartment doesn't look all that special to them. But yeah, given the location that apartment would be super expensive even in the 90s.

He buys a new cadillac for his parents.

I wonder how the fuck Kramer could afford it

>>86697260
Have you ever seen the show? There are many episodes that revolve around him being a comedian

>>86698057
I don't remember either of those things from the show he has a gambling problem and loses a bunch of money at the airport

>>86698057
Kramer rents

>>86698747
It was implied that Kramer did illegal things for cash. fence operations etc

>>86699109
Most people itt probably haven't considered that Jerry owns his apartment. Good point.

Jerry buys a cadillac for his parents.

>>86699154
Jerry rents as well (Reverse Peepholes, The Robbery)

>>86699327
Beat me to it

>>86698998
>>86698747
I just looked it up there was a mad about you crossover where the dude gives him the apartment and he had a bunch of get rich quick schemes so basically mooching of jerry and his apartment was free

Jerry buys a cadillac for his parents in later episodes. Elaine sees a check given to jerry and starts showing interest in jerry.

>>86696856
>>86697484
>>86696922
It was mentioned on the show once that the apartment directly above Jerry was rent-controlled to 300 per mo

What modern /tv/ shows would the Seinfeld gang be into?

(pic mildly related)

>>86696856
You've obviously never lived in Manhattan

>>86700575
You obviously have no experience with rent controlled apartments

>>86700696
Dude I'm just telling you what was said on the show. And no I don't

>>86698015
>it took this anon that long to realize Elaine is a massive bitch
it's part of the appeal
