Zane Weir prize money
Zane Weir has been paid $16,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1272nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from ten paid finishes in the men's shot put, 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.

| All fourteen | Men's shot put | - | $16,500 |
The ten paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $16,500 is ten 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. Four of the fourteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Zane Weir won?
$16,500, which ranks 1272nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from ten paid finishes between 2021 and 2026.
What is Zane Weir's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the shot put at the 2025 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Zane Weir 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 shot put 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 Zane Weir ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Four times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Zane Weir 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.
