Jim Cramer was born on February 10th, 1955, making him currently 54 years old. As for why he fibs about his real age on his television show, Mad Money, he writes in 'Jim Cramer's Mad Money: Watch TV, Get Rich': "And when it comes to money, this is the one place where it's not smart to lie about your age, although to look youthful I often claim I am sixty-two years old on air".
Yes, he divorced his wife Karen L. Cramer (Karen L. Backfisch)
He's been known to flip flop in and out of opinions on trades on his Mad Money television show such as his now infamous Microsoft (MSFT) calls in the summer of 2006. In 2006, Cramer made NYSE-Euronext (NYX) his stock of the year and famously kept recommending it throughout the year until its price was cut in half and he finally capitulated. These trades have been recorded here http://www.stocktagger.com/2007/07/jim-cramer-track-record-on-nyse.htmlHowever, some Mad Money recommendations have lead to spectacular gains for observant viewers such as his 2007 call to buy Jones Soda (JSDA) stock and then to sell it at its peak after it had nearly tripled. This trade is recorded here http://www.stocktagger.com/2007/08/defending-jim-cramer-jones-soda-jsda.htmlHe's right about 47% of the time. That's below industry average.
