Xie Zhenye prize money
Xie Zhenye has been paid $44,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 678th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from fourteen paid finishes in the men's 100 m and men's 200 m, the best of them 2nd.
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 fourteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $44,750 is fourteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the fifteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $30,500 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Xie Zhenye in 2014, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2026, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $44,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Xie Zhenye won?
$44,750, which ranks 678th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fourteen paid finishes between 2013 and 2026.
What is Xie Zhenye's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the 100 m at the 2019 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Xie Zhenye 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 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.
Has Xie Zhenye ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
How much has Xie Zhenye won at the World Indoor Championships?
$8,000, from one paid final in Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Xie Zhenye earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Indoor 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.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Xie Zhenye is Max Burgin on $44,750, and one below Alaysha Johnson on $44,500. Xie Zhenye is one of 114 China athletes athletics has paid, and China athletics prize money adds them up to $1,813,250 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's 100 m prize money and men's 200 m prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Xie Zhenye has been paid in two of them. The biggest of the rest are men's pole vault, men's 800 m and men's 110 m hurdles. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Shanghai Diamond League has its own page across every edition of it. Indoor championships prize money is the Nanjing 2025 and Toruń 2026 championships, $4,664,000 put up across 53 finals, and the indoor final is on the men's 60 metres page.
