Clayton Fritsch prize money
Clayton Fritsch has been paid $2,625 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1367th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's pole vault, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bauhausgalan 2024 | Pole vault | =4th | $1,625 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2022 | Pole vault | 6th | $1,000 |
| All two | Men's pole vault | — | $2,625 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,625 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

What is Clayton Fritsch's biggest Diamond League payday?

How does the Diamond League decide what Clayton Fritsch 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 pole vault 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 Clayton Fritsch 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.
