Luka Janežič prize money
Luka Janežič has been paid $7,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 968th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's 400 m, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Herculis 2019 | 400 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2019 | 400 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Müller Anniversary Games 2019 | 400 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All three | Men's 400 m | — | $7,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,000 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Luka Janežič won?
$7,000, which ranks 968th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes in 2019.
What is Luka Janežič's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the 400 m at the 2019 Herculis. 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 Luka Janežič 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 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 Luka Janežič 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.
