Nelson Évora prize money
Nelson Évora has been paid $38,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 768th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 17 paid finishes in the men's triple jump, the best of them 4th.
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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 17 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $38,500 is 17 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 18 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Nelson Évora won?
$38,500, which ranks 768th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 17 paid finishes between 2014 and 2019.
What is Nelson Évora's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 6th in the triple jump at the 2019 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Nelson Évora 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 triple 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.
Has Nelson Évora ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Nelson Évora 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 him, priced off the card it published.
