Melvin Raffin prize money
Melvin Raffin has been paid $2,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2783rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's triple jump, and it was 6th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2026 | Triple jump | 6th | $2,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2025 | Triple jump | 9th | - |
| Meeting de Paris 2022 | Triple jump | 9th | - |
| All three | Men's triple jump | - | $2,000 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,000 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the three starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2026 is the biggest of them, $2,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Melvin Raffin in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $2,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Melvin Raffin won?
$2,000, which ranks 2783rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish between 2022 and 2026.
What is Melvin Raffin's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the triple jump at the 2026 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 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Melvin Raffin 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.
Has Melvin Raffin ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Melvin Raffin 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.
