Niklas Arrhenius prize money
Niklas Arrhenius has been paid $6,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1924th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's discus throw and men's shot put, the best of them 6th.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bauhausgalan 2015 | Discus throw | 8th | $1,000 |
| DN Galan 2013 | Discus throw | 7th | $1,500 |
| DN Galan 2012 | Shot put | 7th | $1,500 |
| Bislett Games 2011 | Discus throw | 6th | $2,000 |
| All four | two disciplines | - | $6,000 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,000 is four 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
2011 is the biggest of them, $2,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Niklas Arrhenius in 2014, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $6,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Niklas Arrhenius won?
$6,000, which ranks 1924th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2011 and 2015.
What is Niklas Arrhenius's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the discus throw at the 2011 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 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Niklas Arrhenius 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 discus throw 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 Niklas Arrhenius 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.
