Michael Hartfield prize money
Michael Hartfield has been paid $53,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 580th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from fourteen paid finishes in the men's long jump, 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.

The fourteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $53,500 is fourteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Michael Hartfield won?
$53,500, which ranks 580th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fourteen paid finishes between 2014 and 2018.
What is Michael Hartfield's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the long jump at the 2015 Meeting Areva. 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 Michael Hartfield 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 long 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Michael Hartfield won?
One of fourteen, worth $10,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $3,000.
Is this everything Michael Hartfield 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.
