Zhu Yaming prize money
Zhu Yaming has been paid $13,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1397th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the men's triple jump, the best of them 3rd.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond League Shanghai 2025 | Triple jump | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Xiamen Diamond League 2024 | Triple jump | 5th | $1,250 |
| Doha Diamond League 2023 | Triple jump | 5th | $1,250 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2022 | Triple jump | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Meeting de Paris 2022 | Triple jump | 6th | $1,000 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2022 | Triple jump | 7th | $750 |
| Meeting de Paris 2019 | Triple jump | 6th | $2,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2019 | Triple jump | 9th | - |
| All eight | Men's triple jump | - | $13,750 |
The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $13,750 is seven 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. One of the eight starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
The World Championships
What Zhu Yaming did in Tokyo, 2025
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's triple jump | 11th | 16.51 | - |
Zhu Yaming stood in one 2025 World Championships final in Tokyo and finished outside the money. The championships pay eight places, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th, and nothing at all below that. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The World Indoor Championships
What Zhu Yaming did indoors
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's triple jump | 2nd | 17.33 m | $20,000 |
The World Indoor Championships have paid Zhu Yaming $20,000 for one finish in Nanjing 2025, against $13,750 from eight Diamond League starts between 2019 and 2025. Three days indoors paid him more than any whole Diamond League season has. The indoor championships page holds all 53 finals across two editions and the $4,632,000 they paid out.

season running total
2022 is the biggest of them, $5,250 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Zhu Yaming in 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $13,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Zhu Yaming won?
$13,750, which ranks 1397th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2019 and 2025.
What is Zhu Yaming's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the triple jump at the 2025 Diamond League Shanghai. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Zhu Yaming 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 triple 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.
Has Zhu Yaming 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 Zhu Yaming won at the World Indoor Championships?
$20,000, 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 Zhu Yaming 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.
