Peimeng Zhang prize money
Peimeng Zhang has been paid $7,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1767th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's 200 m and men's 100 m, 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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prefontaine Classic 2014 | 100 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Golden Grand Prix 2013 | 200 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Shanghai Golden Grand Prix 2011 | 100 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Shanghai Diamond League 2010 | 200 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| All four | two disciplines | - | $7,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,500 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
2013 is the biggest of them, $3,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Peimeng Zhang in 2012, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $7,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Peimeng Zhang won?
$7,500, which ranks 1767th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2010 and 2014.
What is Peimeng Zhang's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the 200 m at the 2013 Golden Grand Prix. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Peimeng Zhang 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 200 m 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 Peimeng Zhang 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.
