Evan Jager prize money
Evan Jager has been paid $85,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 366th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 18 paid finishes in the men's 3000 m steeplechase, men's 5000 m and men's 3000 m, one of them a win.
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 18 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $85,500 is 18 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.08% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $20,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Evan Jager in 2019, 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $85,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Evan Jager won?
$85,500, which ranks 366th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 18 paid finishes between 2012 and 2022.
What is Evan Jager's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 3rd in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2018 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 Evan Jager 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 3000 m steeplechase 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 Evan Jager won?
One of 18, worth $10,000 between them. Two of his appearances came at a final, which paid $20,000.
Is this everything Evan Jager 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.
