Marian Oprea prize money
Marian Oprea has been paid $14,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1377th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the men's triple jump, 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.

The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $14,000 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2011 is the biggest of them, $8,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Marian Oprea in 2012 and 2013, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $14,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Marian Oprea won?
$14,000, which ranks 1377th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2010 and 2015.
What is Marian Oprea's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the triple jump at the 2011 Adidas Grand Prix. 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 Marian Oprea 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 triple 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 Marian Oprea 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.
