Armand Duplantis prize money
Armand Duplantis has been paid $607,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 50 paid finishes in the men's pole vault, 35 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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 50 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $607,250 is 50 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.5% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Men's pole vault | Gold | $50,000 |
Armand Duplantis was paid $50,000 for the men's pole vault in Paris, the first Games at which an athletics title carried prize money at all. Every one of the 48 golds paid the same $50,000. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.
The European Championships
The Gold Crowns Armand Duplantis has won
| EVENT | MARK | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Men's pole vault | 6.15 m | €50,000 |
| Men's pole vault | 6.10 m | €50,000 |
Armand Duplantis has won two Gold Crowns at the European Championships, each worth €50,000, for the pole vault at Birmingham 2026 and the pole vault at Rome 2024. 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 $607,250 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.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $160,000 from seven starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Armand Duplantis in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $607,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Armand Duplantis won?
$607,250, which ranks 2nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 50 paid finishes between 2017 and 2026.
What is Armand Duplantis's biggest Diamond League payday?
$50,000, for finishing 1st in the Diamond+ pole vault 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 Armand Duplantis 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 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Armand Duplantis won?
35 of 50, worth $530,000 between them. Seven of his appearances came at a final, which paid $193,000.
How much did Armand Duplantis win at the 2025 World Championships?
$170,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. That is $70,000 of place money and $100,000 for a world record, which World Athletics pays on top of the pot. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
How much did Armand Duplantis win at the Ultimate Championship?
$150,000, from one paid final at the 2026 championship in Budapest. World Athletics pays $150,000 for a win there, $75,000 for second and $40,000 for third, the same in all 26 individual events.
How much has Armand Duplantis won at the World Indoor Championships?
$80,000, from two paid finals across Toruń 2026 and Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Armand Duplantis earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships, Ultimate Championship, World Indoor Championships, Olympic 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.
