Marcin Lewandowski prize money
Marcin Lewandowski has been paid $31,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 448th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the men's mile, men's 1500 m and men's 800 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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2021 | Mile | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Herculis EBS 2021 | 1500 m | 6th | $1,000 |
| Oslo Bislett Games 2019 | Mile | 1st | $10,000 |
| Müller Anniversary Games 2019 | 800 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2019 | 1500 m | 6th | $4,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2019 | 800 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Athletissima 2019 | 800 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Bislett Games 2017 | 1500 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| All eight | three disciplines | — | $31,000 |
The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $31,000 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.06% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $20,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Marcin Lewandowski in 2018 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $31,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Marcin Lewandowski won?
$31,000, which ranks 448th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2017 and 2021.
What is Marcin Lewandowski's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the mile at the 2019 Oslo Bislett Games. 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 Marcin Lewandowski 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 mile 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 Marcin Lewandowski won?
One of eight, worth $10,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $4,000.
Is this everything Marcin Lewandowski 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.
