Jinzhe Li prize money
Jinzhe Li has been paid $43,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 698th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from nine paid finishes in the men's long jump, two 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.

The nine paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $43,000 is nine separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2014 is the biggest of them, $26,000 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jinzhe Li in 2011 and 2012, 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 Jinzhe Li won?
$43,000, which ranks 698th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from nine paid finishes between 2010 and 2015.
What is Jinzhe Li's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the long jump at the 2014 Herculis. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Jinzhe Li 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 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Jinzhe Li won?
Two of nine, worth $20,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Jinzhe Li 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.
