Jimmy Vicaut prize money
Jimmy Vicaut has been paid $13,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 755th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's 100 m, the best of them 2nd.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bauhausgalan 2023 | 100 m | 8th | $500 |
| Bauhausgalan 2022 | 100 m | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Herculis 2019 | 100 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2018 | 100 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Bislett Games 2017 | 100 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| All five | Men's 100 m | — | $13,000 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $13,000 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2018 is the biggest of them, $6,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Jimmy Vicaut in 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $13,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jimmy Vicaut won?
$13,000, which ranks 755th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2017 and 2023.
What is Jimmy Vicaut's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 100 m at the 2018 Meeting de Paris. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Jimmy Vicaut 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 100 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.
Is this everything Jimmy Vicaut earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
