Kevin Mayer prize money
Kevin Mayer has been paid $1,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1615th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's javelin throw and men's long jump, the best of them 7th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Herculis EBS 2021 | Long jump | 7th | $750 |
| Herculis 2019 | Javelin throw | 8th | $1,000 |
| All two | two disciplines | — | $1,750 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,750 is two 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.

Season by season
2019 to 2021, in the order it was won
season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $1,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Kevin Mayer in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $1,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kevin Mayer won?
$1,750, which ranks 1615th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2019 and 2021.
What is Kevin Mayer's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,000, for finishing 8th in the javelin throw at the 2019 Herculis. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 8th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Kevin Mayer 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 javelin 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 Kevin Mayer 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.
