Tobias Potye prize money
Tobias Potye has been paid $7,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1820th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's high jump, the best of them 3rd.
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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Herculis EBS 2026 | High jump | 11th | - |
| Diamond League Shanghai 2024 | High jump | 10th | - |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2023 | High jump | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2023 | High jump | 7th | $750 |

| Anniversary Games 2021 | High jump | 4th | $2,000 |
| All seven | Men's high 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. Three of the seven starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $5,000 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Tobias Potye in 2022, 2024, 2025 and 2026, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $7,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Tobias Potye won?
$7,000, which ranks 1820th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2021 and 2026.
What is Tobias Potye's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the high jump at the 2023 Kamila Skolimowska Memorial. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Tobias Potye 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 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.
Has Tobias Potye 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.
Is this everything Tobias Potye 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.
