Michel Tornéus prize money
Michel Tornéus has been paid $55,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 557th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 22 paid finishes in the men's long jump, the best of them 2nd.
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
The 22 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $55,500 is 22 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 Michel Tornéus won?
$55,500, which ranks 557th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 22 paid finishes between 2010 and 2017.
What is Michel Tornéus's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 4th in the long jump at the 2017 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Michel Tornéus 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 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.
Is this everything Michel Tornéus 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.
