Mirela Demireva prize money
Mirela Demireva has been paid $78,875 by the Diamond League, which ranks 400th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 23 paid finishes in the women's high 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 23 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $78,875 is 23 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.07% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Mirela Demireva won?
$78,875, which ranks 400th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 23 paid finishes between 2016 and 2024.
What is Mirela Demireva's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the high jump at the 2018 Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat. 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 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 win 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Mirela Demireva won?
One of 23, worth $10,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $5,667.
Is this everything Mirela Demireva 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 her, priced off the card it published.
