Ludvy Vaillant prize money
Ludvy Vaillant has been paid $17,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 656th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles, 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.

| Prefontaine Classic 2019 | 400 m hurdles | 8th | $1,000 |
| All eight | Men's 400 m hurdles | — | $17,000 |
The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $17,000 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $9,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Ludvy Vaillant in 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $17,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ludvy Vaillant won?
$17,000, which ranks 656th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2019 and 2023.
What is Ludvy Vaillant's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 400 m hurdles at the 2019 Meeting de Paris. 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 Ludvy Vaillant 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 400 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 Ludvy Vaillant 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.
