Yasmani Copello prize money
Yasmani Copello has been paid $58,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 260th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 18 paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles, one of them a win.
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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 18 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $58,250 is 18 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $23,000 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Yasmani Copello in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $58,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Yasmani Copello won?
$58,250, which ranks 260th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 18 paid finishes between 2017 and 2024.
What is Yasmani Copello's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m hurdles at the 2019 Müller Grand Prix Birmingham. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Yasmani Copello 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 win is worth the same in the men's 400 m hurdles 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Yasmani Copello won?
One of 18, worth $10,000 between them. Two of his appearances came at a final, which paid $8,000.
Is this everything Yasmani Copello earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
