Natalia Linares prize money
Natalia Linares has been paid $7,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 972nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's long jump, 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shanghai Diamond League 2026 | Long jump | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2024 | Long jump | 6th | $1,000 |
| All two | Women's long jump | — | $7,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,000 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2026 is the biggest of them, $6,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Natalia Linares in 2025, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $7,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Natalia Linares won?
$7,000, which ranks 972nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2024 and 2026.
What is Natalia Linares's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the long jump at the 2026 Shanghai Diamond League. 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 Natalia Linares 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 long 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 much did Natalia Linares win at the 2025 World Championships?
$22,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
How much has Natalia Linares won at the World Indoor Championships?
$10,000, from one paid final in Toruń 2026. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Natalia Linares earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Championships and World Indoor Championships 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 her, priced off the card it published.
