Nadine Kleinert prize money
Nadine Kleinert has been paid $40,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 749th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from fifteen paid finishes in the women's shot put, 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 fifteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $40,000 is fifteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% 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 Nadine Kleinert won?
$40,000, which ranks 749th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fifteen paid finishes between 2010 and 2013.
What is Nadine Kleinert's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the shot put at the 2013 Bislett Games. 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 Nadine Kleinert 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 shot put 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 Nadine Kleinert 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.
