Limei Xie prize money

Limei Xie has been paid $6,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1857th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's triple jump, the best of them 4th.

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 three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,500 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

2010 is the biggest of them, $3,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Limei Xie in 2011 and 2012, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $6,500.

Frequently asked questions

How much Diamond League prize money has Limei Xie won?

$6,500, which ranks 1857th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2010 and 2013.

What is Limei Xie's biggest Diamond League payday?

$3,000, for finishing 4th in the triple jump at the 2013 Golden 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 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.

How does the Diamond League decide what Limei Xie gets paid?

Entirely by where she 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 women's triple jump 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 Limei Xie 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 her, priced off the card it published.
