Adriana Vilagoš prize money
Adriana Vilagoš has been paid $97,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 326th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 17 paid finishes in the women's javelin throw, two of them wins.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 17 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $97,250 is 17 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.09% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Adriana Vilagoš won?
$97,250, which ranks 326th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 17 paid finishes between 2022 and 2026.
What is Adriana Vilagoš's biggest Diamond League payday?
$12,000, for finishing 2nd in the javelin throw at the 2025 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Adriana Vilagoš gets paid?
Entirely by where she finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a win is worth the same in the women's javelin throw as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
How many Diamond League meetings has Adriana Vilagoš won?
Two of 17, worth $20,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $28,000.
How much did Adriana Vilagoš win at the 2025 World Championships?
$5,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Adriana Vilagoš earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid her, priced off the card it published.
