Susana Costa prize money
Susana Costa has been paid $7,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1817th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the women's triple jump, the best of them 5th.
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 she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2016 | Triple jump | 5th | $2,500 |
| Memorial Van Damme 2016 | Triple jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| Bislett Games 2015 | Triple jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| Meeting Areva 2015 | Triple jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| All four | Women's triple jump | - | $7,000 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,000 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% 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 Susana Costa won?
$7,000, which ranks 1817th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2015 and 2016.
What is Susana Costa's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the triple jump at the 2016 Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Susana Costa gets paid?
Entirely by where she 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 women'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 Susana Costa 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 her, priced off the card it published.
