Jonathan Borlée prize money
Jonathan Borlée has been paid $58,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 531st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 17 paid finishes in the men's 400 m and men's 200 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.

The 17 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $58,000 is 17 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2012 is the biggest of them, $20,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jonathan Borlée in 2014, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $58,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jonathan Borlée won?
$58,000, which ranks 531st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 17 paid finishes between 2010 and 2018.
What is Jonathan Borlée's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m at the 2012 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 Jonathan Borlée 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 400 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 Jonathan Borlée won?
One of 17, worth $10,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Jonathan Borlée 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.
