Edgar Rivera prize money
Edgar Rivera has been paid $10,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1571st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the men's high jump, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2025 | High jump | =6th | $1,500 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2024 | High jump | 5th | $1,250 |
| Doha Diamond League 2023 | High jump | 6th | $1,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2023 | High jump | 6th | $1,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2018 | High jump | =6th | $1,750 |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2016 | High jump | =3rd | $3,500 |
| All six | Men's high jump | - | $10,000 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $10,000 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2016 is the biggest of them, $3,500 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Edgar Rivera in 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $10,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Edgar Rivera won?
$10,000, which ranks 1571st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2016 and 2025.
What is Edgar Rivera's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing =3rd in the high jump at the 2016 Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for =3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Edgar Rivera 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.
Is this everything Edgar Rivera 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.
