Lukas Weisshaidinger prize money
Lukas Weisshaidinger has been paid $26,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 507th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's discus throw, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2019 | Discus throw | 2nd | $20,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2019 | Discus throw | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2018 | Discus throw | 5th | $2,500 |
| All three | Men's discus throw | — | $26,500 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $26,500 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% 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 Lukas Weisshaidinger won?
$26,500, which ranks 507th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2018 and 2019.
What is Lukas Weisshaidinger's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the discus throw at the 2019 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Lukas Weisshaidinger 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 discus throw 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 Lukas Weisshaidinger 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.
