Lázaro Borges prize money
Lázaro Borges has been paid $15,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1328th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's pole vault, the best of them 3rd.
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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| ExxonMobil Bislett Games 2014 | Pole vault | 8th | $1,000 |
| Monaco 2013 | Pole vault | 4th | $3,000 |
| Bislett Games 2012 | Pole vault | 4th | $3,000 |
| Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix 2011 | Pole vault | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Athletissima 2011 | Pole vault | 3rd | $4,000 |
| All five | Men's pole vault | - | $15,000 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $15,000 is five 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Lázaro Borges won?
$15,000, which ranks 1328th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2011 and 2014.
What is Lázaro Borges's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the pole vault at the 2011 Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Lázaro Borges 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 pole vault 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 Lázaro Borges 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.
