Franck Elemba prize money
Franck Elemba has been paid $12,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1452nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the men's shot put, 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.

The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $12,500 is eight 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, $7,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Franck Elemba in 2019 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $12,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Franck Elemba won?
$12,500, which ranks 1452nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2016 and 2021.
What is Franck Elemba's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the shot put at the 2016 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Franck Elemba 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 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.
Is this everything Franck Elemba 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.
