Wang Chen prize money
Wang Chen has been paid $1,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 3132nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's high jump, and it was 6th.
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 payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shanghai Diamond League 2010 | High jump | =6th | $1,500 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,500 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

How does the Diamond League decide what Wang Chen 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.
Is this everything Wang Chen 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.
