How much did Seinfeld make...

...in season 1 of the show?

As a character.

That was the season his apartment was robbed, and he owned a laptop. Weren't 1980's laptops super expensive? And weren't comedians really poor?

Back in the 1990s, when Jerry was working the New York circuit…Jerry would have made around $35,000 per year as a somewhat successful standup comedian. That figure takes into account that he was well enough known to appear on several late shows.

Ha, thought so. Didn't even consider the cadillac.

George did say Jerry was doing alright, so maybe he was in the six figures?
