Shu Heng prize money
Shu Heng has been paid $4,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2141st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's long 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiamen Diamond League 2026 | Long jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| Xiamen Diamond League 2025 | Long jump | 4th | $3,000 |
| All two | Men's long jump | - | $4,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,500 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Three days indoors paid him more than any whole Diamond League season has. The indoor championships page holds all 53 finals across two editions and the $4,632,000 they paid out.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Shu Heng won?
$4,500, which ranks 2141st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2025 and 2026.
What is Shu Heng's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the long jump at the 2025 Xiamen 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 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Shu Heng 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 long 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.
How much has Shu Heng won at the World Indoor Championships?
$4,000, from one paid final in Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Shu Heng earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Indoor Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
