Blanka Vlašić prize money
Blanka Vlašić has been paid $185,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 125th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 25 paid finishes in the women's high jump, fourteen 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 she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 25 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $185,500 is 25 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2010 is the biggest of them, $70,000 from seven starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Blanka Vlašić in 2012, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $185,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Blanka Vlašić won?
$185,500, which ranks 125th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 25 paid finishes between 2010 and 2015.
What is Blanka Vlašić's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the high jump at the 2014 Meeting Areva. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Blanka Vlašić 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 win is worth the same in the women's high jump 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 Blanka Vlašić won?
Fourteen of 25, worth $140,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Blanka Vlašić 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.
