Rasmus Mägi prize money
Rasmus Mägi has been paid $104,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 302nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 33 paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles, 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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 33 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $104,250 is 33 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.09% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Rasmus Mägi won?
$104,250, which ranks 302nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 33 paid finishes between 2014 and 2024.
What is Rasmus Mägi's biggest Diamond League payday?
$7,000, for finishing 3rd in the 400 m hurdles at the 2024 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 Rasmus Mägi 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 400 m hurdles 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 Rasmus Mägi 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.
