Machel Cedenio prize money
Machel Cedenio has been paid $24,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1028th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four 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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prefontaine Classic 2019 | 400 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix 2016 | 400 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Herculis 2016 | 400 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2015 | 400 m | 1st | $10,000 |
| All four | Men's 400 m | - | $24,000 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $24,000 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2016 is the biggest of them, $12,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Machel Cedenio in 2017 and 2018, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $24,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Machel Cedenio won?
$24,000, which ranks 1028th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2015 and 2019.
What is Machel Cedenio's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m at the 2015 Bauhausgalan. 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 Machel Cedenio 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 Machel Cedenio won?
One of four, worth $10,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Machel Cedenio 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.
