Douwe Amels prize money
Douwe Amels has been paid $2,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2514th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's high jump, the best of them 5th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond League Shanghai 2024 | High jump | 9th | - |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2023 | High jump | 5th | $1,250 |
| Bauhausgalan 2023 | High jump | 5th | $1,250 |
| All three | Men's high jump | - | $2,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,500 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the three starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $2,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Douwe Amels in 2024, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $2,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Douwe Amels won?
$2,500, which ranks 2514th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2023 and 2024.
What is Douwe Amels's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,250, for finishing 5th in the high jump at the 2023 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Douwe Amels 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 high 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.
Has Douwe Amels ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Douwe Amels 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.
