Darlan Romani prize money
Darlan Romani has been paid $50,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 304th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the men's shot put, one of them a win.
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 eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $50,500 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.09% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $42,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Darlan Romani in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $50,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Darlan Romani won?
$50,500, which ranks 304th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2019 and 2022.
What is Darlan Romani's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the shot put at the 2019 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Darlan Romani 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 win is worth the same in the men's shot put 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 Darlan Romani won?
One of eight, worth $10,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $20,000.
Is this everything Darlan Romani 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.
