Mthi Mthimkulu prize money

Mthi Mthimkulu has been paid $2,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1423rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 200 m, and it was 5th.

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 one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,500 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

The World Relays have paid $26,000 for the two teams Mthi Mthimkulu ran on across Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026, and all of it went to South Africa rather than to the four who ran. The $2,500 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid him. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team he ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. He ran alongside Lythe Pillay and Zakithi Nene, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.

Frequently asked questions

How much Diamond League prize money has Mthi Mthimkulu won?

$2,500, which ranks 1423rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2026.

What is Mthi Mthimkulu's biggest Diamond League payday?

$2,500, for finishing 5th in the Diamond+ 200 m at the 2026 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.

How does the Diamond League decide what Mthi Mthimkulu 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 200 m 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.

What did Mthi Mthimkulu's World Relays teams win?

$26,000, across two paid finals at Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Mthi Mthimkulu or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.

Is this everything Mthi Mthimkulu earns from athletics?

No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Relays money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.

Where to next

The rest of the Diamond League money

Diamond League prize money ranks all 2,112 athletes across the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Mthi Mthimkulu is Moa Granat on $2,500, and one below Muhammad Abdallah Kounta on $2,500. Mthi Mthimkulu is one of 34 South Africa athletes athletics has paid, and South Africa athletics prize money adds them up to $993,000 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's 200 m prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Mthi Mthimkulu has been paid in one of them. The biggest of the rest are men's 100 m, men's pole vault and men's 800 m. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Bauhausgalan has its own page across every edition of it. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relays are on the men's 4 × 400 metres relay and mixed 4 × 400 metres relay pages.
