Saúl Ordóñez prize money
Saúl Ordóñez has been paid $8,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 891st of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's 800 m and men's 1500 m, 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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bauhausgalan 2023 | 800 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2023 | 800 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Xiamen Diamond League 2023 | 800 m | 7th | $750 |
| Memorial Van Damme 2023 | 800 m | 8th | $500 |
| Anniversary Games 2021 | 800 m | 8th | $500 |
| Müller Grand Prix Gateshead 2021 | 1500 m | 13th | — |
| All six | two disciplines | — | $8,750 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $8,750 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the six 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 Saúl Ordóñez won?
$8,750, which ranks 891st of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2021 and 2023.
What is Saúl Ordóñez's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 800 m at the 2023 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Saúl Ordóñez 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 800 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.
Has Saúl Ordóñez ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. He is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Saúl Ordóñez earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
