Luis Zayas prize money
Luis Zayas has been paid $5,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2056th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's high jump, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2023 | High jump | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2023 | High jump | 6th | $1,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2023 | High jump | 8th | $500 |
| All three | Men's high jump | - | $5,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,000 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 Luis Zayas won?
$5,000, which ranks 2056th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes in 2023.
What is Luis Zayas's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the high jump at the 2023 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. 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 Luis Zayas 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 high 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 Luis Zayas 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.
