Alioune Sene prize money
Alioune Sene has been paid $3,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1255th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's pole vault, the best of them 7th.
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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athletissima 2019 | Pole vault | 7th | $1,500 |
| Oslo Bislett Games 2019 | Pole vault | 8th | $1,000 |
| Herculis 2019 | Pole vault | 8th | $1,000 |
| All three | Men's pole vault | — | $3,500 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,500 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Alioune Sene won?
$3,500, which ranks 1255th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes in 2019.
What is Alioune Sene's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,500, for finishing 7th in the pole vault at the 2019 Athletissima. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 7th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Alioune Sene gets paid?
Entirely by where he finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a place is worth the same in the men's pole vault 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.
Is this everything Alioune Sene earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. It holds no championship prize money, no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid him, priced off the card it published.
