David Storl prize money
David Storl has been paid $125,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 243rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 25 paid finishes in the men's shot put, five of them wins.
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
The 25 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $125,500 is 25 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2015 is the biggest of them, $39,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid David Storl in 2019, 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $125,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has David Storl won?
$125,500, which ranks 243rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 25 paid finishes between 2011 and 2022.
What is David Storl's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the shot put at the 2015 Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what David Storl 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 David Storl won?
Five of 25, worth $50,000 between them. Two of his appearances came at a final, which paid $10,000.
Is this everything David Storl 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.
