Natalia Ducó prize money
Natalia Ducó has been paid $11,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1505th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the women's shot put, the best of them 3rd.
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.

Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2016 | Shot put | 6th | $2,000 |
| British Athletics Grand Prix 2014 | Shot put | 8th | $1,000 |
| Bislett Games 2013 | Shot put | 3rd | $4,000 |
| DN Galan 2013 | Shot put | 4th | $3,000 |
| Sainsburys Anniversary Games 2013 | Shot put | 7th | $1,500 |
| All five | Women's shot put | - | $11,500 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $11,500 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2013 is the biggest of them, $8,500 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Natalia Ducó in 2015, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $11,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Natalia Ducó won?
$11,500, which ranks 1505th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2013 and 2016.
What is Natalia Ducó's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd 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 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Natalia Ducó 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 Natalia Ducó 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.
