Bernhard Seifert prize money
Bernhard Seifert has been paid $5,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1958th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's javelin throw, the best of them 7th.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltklasse Zürich 2019 | Javelin throw | 8th | $2,000 |
| Oslo Bislett Games 2019 | Javelin throw | 7th | $1,500 |
| Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 2019 | Javelin throw | 8th | $1,000 |
| Herculis 2017 | Javelin throw | 8th | $1,000 |
| All four | Men's javelin throw | - | $5,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,500 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $4,500 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Bernhard Seifert in 2018, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $5,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Bernhard Seifert won?
$5,500, which ranks 1958th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2017 and 2019.
What is Bernhard Seifert's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 8th in the javelin throw at the 2019 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 Bernhard Seifert 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 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.
Is this everything Bernhard Seifert 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.
