The fifteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $117,500 is fifteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Andreas Hofmann won?
$117,500, which ranks 258th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fifteen paid finishes between 2014 and 2019.
What is Andreas Hofmann's biggest Diamond League payday?
$50,000, for finishing 1st in the javelin throw at the 2018 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 Andreas Hofmann 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 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 Andreas Hofmann won?
Four of fifteen, worth $80,000 between them. Two of his appearances came at a final, which paid $60,000.
Is this everything Andreas Hofmann earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 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.
