Berke Akçam prize money
Berke Akçam has been paid $13,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1421st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles and men's 300 m hurdles, the best of them 4th.
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 seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $13,000 is seven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% 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 Berke Akçam won?
$13,000, which ranks 1421st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2024 and 2025.
What is Berke Akçam's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the 300 m hurdles at the 2025 Xiamen Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Berke Akçam 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 400 m hurdles 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 Berke Akçam 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.
