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.

The thirteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $25,542 is thirteen 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. Three of the sixteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Thibaut Collet won?
$25,542, which ranks 986th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from thirteen paid finishes between 2022 and 2026.
What is Thibaut Collet's biggest Diamond League payday?
$5,000, for finishing =2nd in the pole vault at the 2025 Athletissima. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for =2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Thibaut Collet 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 pole vault 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.
Has Thibaut Collet ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three 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.
How much did Thibaut Collet win at the 2025 World Championships?
$11,000, 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.
Is this everything Thibaut Collet earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World 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.
