Gerhard Mayer prize money
Gerhard Mayer has been paid $9,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1634th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's discus throw, 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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sainsburys Anniversary Games 2015 | Discus throw | 6th | $2,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2015 | Discus throw | 7th | $1,500 |
| British Grand Prix 2010 | Discus throw | 5th | $2,500 |
| Golden Gala 2010 | Discus throw | 6th | $2,000 |
| London Grand Prix 2010 | Discus throw | 8th | $1,000 |
| All five | Men's discus throw | - | $9,000 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $9,000 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.

season running total
2010 is the biggest of them, $5,500 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Gerhard Mayer in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $9,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Gerhard Mayer won?
$9,000, which ranks 1634th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2010 and 2015.
What is Gerhard Mayer's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the discus throw at the 2010 British Grand Prix. 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 Gerhard Mayer 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 discus throw 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 Gerhard Mayer 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.
