Mirela Demireva prize money
Mirela Demireva has been paid $30,458 by the Diamond League, which ranks 455th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from nine paid finishes in the women's high 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.

The nine paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $30,458 is nine 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, $25,583 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Mirela Demireva in 2020, 2022 and 2023, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $30,458.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Mirela Demireva won?
$30,458, which ranks 455th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from nine paid finishes between 2018 and 2024.
What is Mirela Demireva's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the high jump at the 2019 Herculis. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Mirela Demireva gets paid?
Entirely by where she 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 women's high 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 Mirela Demireva 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 her, priced off the card it published.
