Seito Yamamoto prize money
Seito Yamamoto has been paid $10,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 845th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's pole vault, 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.

| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2019 | Pole vault | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2019 | Pole vault | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Oslo Bislett Games 2019 | Pole vault | 6th | $2,000 |

| Meeting de Paris 2018 | Pole vault | 9th | — |
| All six | Men's pole vault | — | $10,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $10,000 is three 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. Three of the six starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
Season by season
2018 to 2019, in the order it was won
season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $10,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Seito Yamamoto in 2018, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $10,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Seito Yamamoto won?
$10,000, which ranks 845th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2018 and 2019.
What is Seito Yamamoto's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the pole vault at the 2019 Doha Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Seito Yamamoto 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 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.
Has Seito Yamamoto ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three 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. He are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Seito Yamamoto 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.
