Tobias Scherbarth prize money
Tobias Scherbarth has been paid $9,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1629th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's pole vault, the best of them 4th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athletissima 2016 | Pole vault | =8th | $500 |
| Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix 2015 | Pole vault | 4th | $3,000 |

| All five | Men's pole vault | - | $9,250 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $9,250 is five 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.

season running total
2015 is the biggest of them, $5,750 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Tobias Scherbarth in 2014, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $9,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Tobias Scherbarth won?
$9,250, which ranks 1629th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2013 and 2016.
What is Tobias Scherbarth's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the pole vault at the 2015 Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Tobias Scherbarth 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.
Is this everything Tobias Scherbarth 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.
