Gerson Baldé prize money
Gerson Baldé has been paid $7,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1792nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's long jump, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2026 | Long jump | 5th | $2,500 |
| Athletissima 2026 | Long jump | 5th | $2,500 |
| Herculis EBS 2026 | Long jump | 6th | $2,000 |
| Athletissima 2025 | Long jump | 9th | - |
| All four | Men's long jump | - | $7,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,000 is three 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 four starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

What Gerson Baldé did in Budapest, 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's long jump | 6th | 7.85 m | - |
Gerson Baldé stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where he finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.
The World Indoor Championships
What Gerson Baldé did indoors
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's long jump | 1st | 8.46 | $40,000 |
| Men's long jump | 8th | 8.03 m | - |
The World Indoor Championships have paid Gerson Baldé $40,000 for one finish in Toruń 2026, against $7,000 from four Diamond League starts between 2025 and 2026. An indoor title paid $40,000, which is more than the Diamond League has paid him in any single season. The indoor championships page holds all 53 finals across two editions and the $4,632,000 they paid out.
Season by season
2025 to 2026, in the order it was won
season running total
2026 is the biggest of them, $7,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Gerson Baldé in 2025, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $7,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Gerson Baldé won?
$7,000, which ranks 1792nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2025 and 2026.
What is Gerson Baldé's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the Diamond+ long jump at the 2026 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. 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 Gerson Baldé 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 long 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.
Has Gerson Baldé 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 Gerson Baldé won at the World Indoor Championships?
$40,000, from one paid final in Toruń 2026. 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 Gerson Baldé 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.
