Gianmarco Tamberi prize money
Gianmarco Tamberi has been paid $195,958 by the Diamond League, which ranks 113th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 31 paid finishes in the men's high jump, six of them wins.
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 31 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $195,958 is 31 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the 33 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Gianmarco Tamberi won?
$195,958, which ranks 113th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 31 paid finishes between 2015 and 2026.
What is Gianmarco Tamberi's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the high jump at the 2024 AG Memorial Van Damme. 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 Gianmarco Tamberi 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 high 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Gianmarco Tamberi won?
Six of 33, worth $120,000 between them. Five of his appearances came at a final, which paid $105,500.
Has Gianmarco Tamberi ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
How much did Gianmarco Tamberi win at the Ultimate Championship?
$150,000, from one paid final at the 2026 championship in Budapest. World Athletics pays $150,000 for a win there, $75,000 for second and $40,000 for third, the same in all 26 individual events.
Is this everything Gianmarco Tamberi earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The Ultimate Championship 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.
