Carl Bengtström prize money
Carl Bengtström has been paid $26,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 962nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from twelve paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles, men's 300 m hurdles and men's 400 m, 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 twelve paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $26,750 is twelve 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
2025 is the biggest of them, $14,000 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Carl Bengtström in 2020, 2021 and 2023, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $26,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Carl Bengtström won?
$26,750, which ranks 962nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from twelve paid finishes between 2019 and 2026.
What is Carl Bengtström's biggest Diamond League payday?
$5,000, for finishing 4th in the Diamond+ 400 m hurdles at the 2025 Doha 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 Carl Bengtström 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 Carl Bengtström 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.
