Andreas Almgren prize money
Andreas Almgren has been paid $34,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 826th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from ten paid finishes in the men's 5000 m, men's 3000 m and men's 800 m, one of them a win.
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.

| All thirteen | four disciplines | - | $34,250 |
The ten paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $34,250 is ten separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the thirteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
The World Championships
What Andreas Almgren did in Tokyo, 2025
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 10,000 metres | 3rd | 28:56.02 | $22,000 |
The 2025 World Championships paid Andreas Almgren $22,000 for one finish in Tokyo, against $34,250 from thirteen Diamond League starts between 2014 and 2026. Nine days there paid him more than any whole Diamond League season has. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The European Championships
The Gold Crown Andreas Almgren has won
| EVENT | MARK | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Men's 10,000 metres | 27:23.44 | €50,000 |
Andreas Almgren has won one Gold Crown at the European Championships, worth €50,000, for the 10,000 metres at Birmingham 2026. A crown goes to the best performance in one of five event groups for men and five for women, so 79 of the 99 titles at Rome 2024 and Birmingham 2026 paid nothing. It is paid in euros and is not added to the $34,250 at the top of this page. From Silesia 2028 the crowns give way to a ladder paying €30,000 for every title. The European Championships page holds every crown, the athletes who won them and the ladder that replaces them.

| Men's 1500 m | 3 | - | 2023 to 2026 | $0 |
The men's 5000 m has paid Andreas Almgren $19,000 of the $34,250, which is 55% of everything the series has given him.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $17,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Andreas Almgren in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $34,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Andreas Almgren won?
$34,250, which ranks 826th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from ten paid finishes between 2014 and 2026.
What is Andreas Almgren's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 5000 m at the 2025 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Andreas Almgren 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 win is worth the same in the men's 5000 m 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 Andreas Almgren won?
One of thirteen, worth $10,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $7,000.
Has Andreas Almgren ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three times. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
How much did Andreas Almgren win at the 2025 World Championships?
$22,000, 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 Andreas Almgren earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships and European 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 him, priced off the card it published.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Andreas Almgren is Mimi Belete on $34,500, and one below Chala Beyo on $34,250. Andreas Almgren is one of 89 Sweden athletes athletics has paid, and Sweden athletics prize money adds them up to $2,690,592 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's 5000 m prize money, men's 3000 m prize money, men's 800 m prize money and men's 1500 m prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Andreas Almgren has been paid in four of them. The biggest of the rest are men's 100 m, men's pole vault and men's 200 m. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Shanghai Diamond League has its own page across every edition of it. Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full final is on the men's 10,000 metres page.
