Simon Ehammer prize money
Simon Ehammer has been paid $145,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 190th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 21 paid finishes in the men's long jump, three of them wins.
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
The 21 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $145,500 is 21 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Simon Ehammer won?
$145,500, which ranks 190th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 21 paid finishes between 2021 and 2026.
What is Simon Ehammer's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the long jump at the 2025 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 Simon Ehammer 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 win 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 many Diamond League meetings has Simon Ehammer won?
Three of 21, worth $70,000 between them. Six of his appearances came at a final, which paid $85,500.
How much did Simon Ehammer win at the 2025 World Championships?
$16,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
How much did Simon Ehammer win at the Ultimate Championship?
$40,000, from one paid final at the 2026 championship in Budapest. World Athletics pays $150,000 for a win there, $75,000 for second and $40,000 for third, the same in all 26 individual events.
How much has Simon Ehammer won at the World Indoor Championships?
$40,000, from one paid final in Toruń 2026. 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 Simon Ehammer earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships, Ultimate Championship and 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.
