Raphael Holzdeppe prize money
Raphael Holzdeppe has been paid $78,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 402nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 24 paid finishes in the men's pole vault, one of them a win.
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 24 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $78,500 is 24 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.07% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Raphael Holzdeppe won?
$78,500, which ranks 402nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 24 paid finishes between 2011 and 2019.
What is Raphael Holzdeppe's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the pole vault at the 2013 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Raphael Holzdeppe 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 win is worth the same in the men's pole vault 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 many Diamond League meetings has Raphael Holzdeppe won?
One of 24, worth $10,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Raphael Holzdeppe 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.
