Jimmy Gressier prize money
Jimmy Gressier has been paid $43,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 355th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the men's 3000 m, men's 5000 m and men's 1500 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.

| Müller Grand Prix Gateshead 2021 | 5000 m | 8th | $500 |
| All ten | three disciplines | — | $43,000 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $43,000 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.08% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Four of the ten starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

The World Cross Country Championships
What Jimmy Gressier ran on the grass
| RACE | PLACE | MARK | EARNED | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Senior men's race | 15th | 29:36 | — | $8,000 |
Jimmy Gressier has run one race here and was paid nothing in his own name. Only the first six across the line are, $30,000 for the win down to $3,000 for 6th, and there is no appearance money underneath it. The team he ran on earned France $8,000, all of it from a team standing, which is settled on the places of the first four runners a country gets home. It is the federation's money rather than his, and it is not added to the $43,000 at the top of this page. Hescored alongside Yann Schrub and Etienne Daguinos, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The cross country page holds all 10 races across two championships and the $620,000 they paid out.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $39,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jimmy Gressier in 2023 and 2024, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $43,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jimmy Gressier won?
$43,000, which ranks 355th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2021 and 2026.
What is Jimmy Gressier's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the 3000 m at the 2025 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 Jimmy Gressier 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 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 Jimmy Gressier won?
One of ten, worth $30,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $30,000.
Has Jimmy Gressier ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Four 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. He are in the result tables on this site either way.
How much did Jimmy Gressier win at the 2025 World Championships?
$92,000, from two paid finals in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Jimmy Gressier earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Championships and World Cross Country 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.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 2,112 athletes across the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Jimmy Gressier is Cheng Chao-tsun on $43,000, and one below KC Lightfoot on $42,875. Jimmy Gressier is one of 104 France athletes athletics has paid, and France athletics prize money adds them up to $1,290,042 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's 3000 m prize money, men's 5000 m prize money and men's 1500 m prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Jimmy Gressier has been paid in three of them. The biggest of the rest are men's 100 m, men's pole vault and men's 800 m. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Meeting de Paris has its own page across every edition of it. Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full finals are on the men's 10,000 metres and men's 5000 metres pages. Cross country prize money is the Belgrade 2024 and Tallahassee 2026 championships, $620,000 put up across 10 races, half of it a runner's and half of it a federation's, and the race is on the senior men's race page.
