Verena Sailer prize money
Verena Sailer has been paid $12,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1463rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the women's 100 m, 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athletissima 2014 | 100 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix 2014 | 100 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Bislett Games 2013 | 100 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Memorial Van Damme 2013 | 100 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Bislett Games 2011 | 100 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2010 | 100 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All six | Women's 100 m | - | $12,500 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $12,500 is six 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
2014 is the biggest of them, $5,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Verena Sailer in 2012, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $12,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Verena Sailer won?
$12,500, which ranks 1463rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2010 and 2014.
What is Verena Sailer's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the 100 m at the 2014 Athletissima. 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 Verena Sailer gets paid?
Entirely by where she 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 women's 100 m 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 Verena Sailer 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 her, priced off the card it published.
