Jorge Fernández prize money
Jorge Fernández has been paid $14,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1348th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's discus throw, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athletissima 2014 | Discus throw | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Herculis 2014 | Discus throw | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Adidas Grand Prix 2012 | Discus throw | 5th | $2,500 |
| All three | Men's discus throw | - | $14,500 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $14,500 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2014 is the biggest of them, $12,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jorge Fernández in 2013, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $14,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jorge Fernández won?
$14,500, which ranks 1348th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2012 and 2014.
What is Jorge Fernández's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the discus throw at the 2014 Athletissima. 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 Jorge Fernández 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 discus throw 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 Jorge Fernández 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.
