Anna Rüh prize money
Anna Rüh has been paid $21,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1095th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from nine paid finishes in the women's discus throw, the best of them 3rd.
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.

The nine paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $21,500 is nine separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2013 is the biggest of them, $12,000 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Anna Rüh in 2016 and 2017, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $21,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Anna Rüh won?
$21,500, which ranks 1095th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from nine paid finishes between 2013 and 2018.
What is Anna Rüh's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the discus throw at the 2013 Qatar Athletic. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Anna Rüh 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 place is worth the same in the women's discus 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.
Is this everything Anna Rüh 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 her, priced off the card it published.
