Luguelín Santos prize money
Luguelín Santos has been paid $93,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 344th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 27 paid finishes in the men's 400 m, one of them a win.
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
The 27 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $93,000 is 27 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.08% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2012 is the biggest of them, $34,000 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Luguelín Santos in 2019, 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $93,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Luguelín Santos won?
$93,000, which ranks 344th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 27 paid finishes between 2012 and 2022.
What is Luguelín Santos's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m at the 2012 Adidas 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 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Luguelín Santos 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 win is worth the same in the men's 400 m 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Luguelín Santos won?
One of 27, worth $10,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $4,000.
Is this everything Luguelín Santos 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.
