Samyr Laine prize money
Samyr Laine has been paid $25,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1006th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from twelve paid finishes in the men's triple jump, 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.

The twelve paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $25,000 is twelve 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.

season running total
2012 is the biggest of them, $8,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Samyr Laine in 2011, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $25,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Samyr Laine won?
$25,000, which ranks 1006th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from twelve paid finishes between 2010 and 2016.
What is Samyr Laine's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the triple jump at the 2013 Qatar Athletic. 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 Samyr Laine 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 triple jump 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 Samyr Laine 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.
