Mutaz Barsham prize money
Mutaz Barsham has been paid $95,833 by the Diamond League, which ranks 150th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from thirteen paid finishes in the men's high jump, seven of them wins.
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 thirteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $95,833 is thirteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The Olympic Games
What Mutaz Barsham won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Men's high jump | Bronze | — |
The bronze in the men's high jump paid nothing. Only a gold pays, so 97 of the 145 medals awarded on the athletics programme in Paris carried no money at all. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $30,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Mutaz Barsham in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $95,833.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Mutaz Barsham won?
$95,833, which ranks 150th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from thirteen paid finishes between 2017 and 2026.
What is Mutaz Barsham's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the high jump at the 2023 Kamila Skolimowska Memorial. 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 Mutaz Barsham 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 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 Mutaz Barsham won?
Seven of thirteen, worth $70,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Mutaz Barsham 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 him, priced off the card it published.
