Sylwester Bednarek prize money
Sylwester Bednarek has been paid $20,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1131st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the men's high jump, one of them a win.
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.

| Herculis 2010 | High jump | 8th | $1,000 |
| All nine | Men's high jump | - | $20,250 |
The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $20,250 is seven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the nine starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2010 is the biggest of them, $12,750 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Sylwester Bednarek in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $20,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Sylwester Bednarek won?
$20,250, which ranks 1131st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2010 and 2019.
What is Sylwester Bednarek's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the high jump at the 2010 Shanghai 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 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Sylwester Bednarek 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 high 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 Sylwester Bednarek won?
One of nine, worth $10,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $3,000.
Has Sylwester Bednarek ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Sylwester Bednarek 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 him, priced off the card it published.
