Takatoshi Abe prize money
Takatoshi Abe has been paid $6,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1015th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles, 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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oslo Bislett Games 2019 | 400 m hurdles | 5th | $2,500 |
| IAAF Diamond League Shanghai 2019 | 400 m hurdles | 6th | $2,000 |
| Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 2019 | 400 m hurdles | 6th | $2,000 |
| All three | Men's 400 m hurdles | — | $6,500 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,500 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Takatoshi Abe won?
$6,500, which ranks 1015th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes in 2019.
What is Takatoshi Abe's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the 400 m hurdles at the 2019 Oslo Bislett Games. 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 Takatoshi Abe 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 400 m hurdles 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 Takatoshi Abe 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.
