Christian Reif prize money
Christian Reif has been paid $7,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1750th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's long jump, the best of them 2nd.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting Areva 2011 | Long jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2010 | Long jump | 2nd | $6,000 |
| All two | Men's long jump | - | $7,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,500 is two 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.
Season by season

2010 is the biggest of them, $6,000 from one start. Every season from 2010 to 2011 paid him something. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $7,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Christian Reif won?
$7,500, which ranks 1750th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2010 and 2011.
What is Christian Reif's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the long jump at the 2010 Weltklasse Zürich. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Christian Reif 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 long 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.
Is this everything Christian Reif 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.
