David Kendziera prize money
David Kendziera has been paid $19,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1158th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles, 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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it

|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2024 | 400 m hurdles | 4th | $2,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2021 | 400 m hurdles | 8th | $500 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2019 | 400 m hurdles | 5th | $5,000 |

| Oslo Bislett Games 2019 | 400 m hurdles | 4th | $3,000 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2019 | 400 m hurdles | 4th | $3,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2019 | 400 m hurdles | 6th | $2,000 |
| All seven | Men's 400 m hurdles | - | $19,500 |
The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $19,500 is seven 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
2019 is the biggest of them, $17,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid David Kendziera in 2020, 2022 and 2023, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $19,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has David Kendziera won?
$19,500, which ranks 1158th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2019 and 2024.
What is David Kendziera's biggest Diamond League payday?
$5,000, for finishing 5th in the 400 m hurdles at the 2019 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 David Kendziera 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 David Kendziera 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.
