Joel Baden prize money
Joel Baden has been paid $1,417 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1730th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's high jump, and it was 4th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiamen Diamond League 2024 | High jump | =4th | $1,417 |
| London Athletics Meet 2023 | High jump | 9th | — |
| All two | Men's high jump | — | $1,417 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,417 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the two starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Joel Baden won?
$1,417, which ranks 1730th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish between 2023 and 2024.
What is Joel Baden's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,417, for finishing =4th in the high jump at the 2024 Xiamen Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for =4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Joel Baden 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 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.
Has Joel Baden 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. He is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Joel Baden 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.
