Charles Grethen prize money
Charles Grethen has been paid $6,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1033rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's 1500 m and men's mile, 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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2024 | 1500 m | 13th | — |
| Bislett Games 2023 | 1500 m | 14th | — |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2022 | 1500 m | 4th | $2,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2022 | 1500 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Bislett Games 2022 | Mile | 5th | $1,250 |
| Birmingham Diamond League 2022 | 1500 m | 7th | $750 |
| Allianz Memorial Van Damme 2021 | 1500 m | 8th | $500 |
| All seven | two disciplines | — | $6,000 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,000 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the seven starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2022 is the biggest of them, $5,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Charles Grethen in 2023 and 2024, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $6,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Charles Grethen won?
$6,000, which ranks 1033rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2021 and 2024.
What is Charles Grethen's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 4th in the 1500 m at the 2022 Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat. 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 Charles Grethen 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 1500 m 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.
Has Charles Grethen ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. He are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Charles Grethen earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
