Sam Mattis prize money
Sam Mattis has been paid $21,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1107th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eleven paid finishes in the men's discus throw, the best of them 3rd.
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.

The eleven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $21,250 is eleven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the thirteen 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 Sam Mattis won?
$21,250, which ranks 1107th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eleven paid finishes between 2022 and 2026.
What is Sam Mattis's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 4th in the discus throw at the 2022 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Sam Mattis 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.
Has Sam Mattis ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Sam Mattis 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.
