Lehann Fourie prize money
Lehann Fourie has been paid $4,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2117th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's 110 m hurdles, the best of them 6th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Grand Prix 2013 | 110 m hurdles | 8th | $1,000 |
| Memorial van Damme 2012 | 110 m hurdles | 6th | $2,000 |
| Aviva British Grand Prix 2012 | 110 m hurdles | 7th | $1,500 |
| All three | Men's 110 m hurdles | - | $4,500 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,500 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% 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 Lehann Fourie won?
$4,500, which ranks 2117th 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 2013.
What is Lehann Fourie's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the 110 m hurdles at the 2012 Memorial van Damme. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Lehann Fourie 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 110 m hurdles 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 Lehann Fourie 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.
