Hey how much you think Michael Knight's salary was for working with F.L.A.G., I think it was maybe $50,000-60,000 a year (imaginatively speaking).

oh its gotta be about 20 to 30 billion dollars a year

Interesting...could he actually have had a salary? Since he didn't exist how did FLAG do his W2's?

Maybe he just worked for room and board.

I dunno... I think KITT gets paid more, but they don't dare tell that to Michael.

Well considering how much was spent on KITT (cost of building and maintenance), its a safe guess the Foundation is giving Michael unlimited food stamps and free lodging (courtesy of KITT's comfortable and safe interior shell)

That's the thing. I've noticed in some of the 1st season shows that Micheal would put his bags in KITT when he was about to go on a mission. Now, where did the bags come from, and where did he live when he was not on a mission? Where did he keep the rest of his belongings?

I know this is way off-base, but....tiddly winks?
That's supposed to be a joke!
Pardon my goofiness at this moment.
In any case, I guess a lot more money in his paycheck than he was paid as a cop when his name was Michael Long, but I couldn't guess right now. Really!

he probably stayed at the Foundation headquarters in one of its many rooms. plus he probably didnt get paid anything because even though he ha credit cards and cash, im sure the foundation took care of everything.

well if anybody was paying full attention to the pilot "knight of the phoenix"
were Michael departs ,Devon hands Michael the wallet that has his credit cards,social security and drivers license and it was all on Wilton Knights orders!...so he might of had a salary and it was obvious that all expenses were claerly taken care of!...so as long as he has a social securlty number he is obviously paid and the foundation ahndles all his taxes and living needs!

I think it's safe to assume Michael was a millionaire several times over.

In "Knight Moves" Devon says to Michael that the Knight Semi is worth a king's ransom, or Michael's yearly salary "At the very least."

It could be...I always assumed he was not paid and got free room & board and protection from the Foundation. Afterall the Foundation authorized Michael to operate their high-tech vehicle which was worth millions. I had always assumed the Social Security number and credit cards were all made to help Michael Knight exist.

The only problem is that all of the information was invalid before 1982 which is why when criminals ran background checks, they always discovered that he didn't previously exist. Still, maybe having a partial identity was better than having no identity. It was all designed to protect Michael from anyone thinking he was Michael Long. But thinking it through logically, you would think he would be at least paid for risking his life every day.

i think he would have been payed$35567 and 93 cents a year before tax

Well, I would think he'd want some things like uhm.... hmmm... music? No, that's right KITT has that. Video games... wait, KITT has that too. TV? Nope. KITT has that as well. Heck, KITT had everything so I guess there wasn't anything Micheal could want. Or maybe books. I did see one 1st season ep (at least) where KITT was driving and Michael was reading a book.

yeah, it was K.I.T.T's owner manual. there was also another first season episode, i think it was A Plush Ride, where Michael was also reading a magazine of some sort.

Michael on a date:

Michael- "You can have anything on the menu you want."
Girl- "You spoil me, dirty."
