Ersu Şaşma prize money
Ersu Şaşma has been paid $11,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1489th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's pole vault, the best of them 4th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiamen Diamond League 2025 | Pole vault | 5th | $3,000 |
| Athletissima 2025 | Pole vault | 4th | $3,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2025 | Pole vault | =5th | $2,750 |
| Bislett Games 2025 | Pole vault | 7th | $2,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2025 | Pole vault | 10th | - |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2023 | Pole vault | 6th | $1,000 |
| All six | Men's pole vault | - | $11,750 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $11,750 is five 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. One of the six starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $10,750 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Ersu Şaşma in 2024, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $11,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ersu Şaşma won?
$11,750, which ranks 1489th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2023 and 2025.
What is Ersu Şaşma's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 5th in the Diamond+ pole vault at the 2025 Xiamen Diamond League. 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 Ersu Şaşma 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 pole vault 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 Ersu Şaşma 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.
How much has Ersu Şaşma won at the World Indoor Championships?
$4,000, from one paid final in Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Ersu Şaşma earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Indoor Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
