Diamond League 2024 prize money
The 2024 Diamond League paid $6,752,000 to 712 athletes across fifteen meetings, from 20 April to 13-14 September. Armand Duplantis took more of it than anyone, $90,000.
The series pays by finishing place and by nothing else, so one card covers every discipline at every meeting of the season: $10,000 for a series win, $30,000 at the final, and eight places paid in each. There was no Diamond+ tier this season, so every discipline paid the same.

What the season paid, meeting by meeting
season running total
The line is the running total, and it is close to straight because the pots barely move: every series meeting pays the same rate a discipline, so what separates them is how many disciplines they ran. The step at the end is AG Memorial Van Damme, the final, which pays 3 times what a series meeting pays for a win.

No discipline runs at every meeting. The series rotates them, so a discipline's total for the season is its rate multiplied by how many times it was on the programme, and the column above is a count of appearances rather than a ranking of anything.
What each place paid in 2024
The two cards in force across the season
| PLACE | SERIES | FINAL |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | $10,000 | $30,000 |
| 2nd | $6,000 | $12,000 |
| 3rd | $3,500 | $7,000 |
| 4th | $2,000 | $4,000 |
| 5th | $1,250 | $2,500 |
| 6th | $1,000 | $2,000 |
| 7th | $750 | $1,500 |
| 8th | $500 | $1,000 |
| All eight | $25,000 | $60,000 |
Every column is the whole of what that kind of discipline paid in 2024. There is no appearance money in these figures, no bonus for a record and nothing for ninth, and where athletes tied they took the places between them and split the money for all of them.
Frequently asked questions
How much prize money did the 2024 Diamond League pay?
$6,752,000 across fifteen meetings and 35 disciplines, to 712 athletes. That is 12.6% of everything the series has paid across the nine seasons on this site.
What did a Diamond League win pay in 2024?
$10,000 at a series meeting and $30,000 at the final. The figure is the same in every discipline on the card, so a win in the shot put pays what a win in the 100 m pays.
Who earned the most in the 2024 Diamond League?
Armand Duplantis, on $90,000 from seven paid finishes, seven of them wins. 406 of the 712 athletes paid in 2024 were paid more than once.
How many meetings did the 2024 Diamond League run?
Fifteen: fourteen series meetings and the final, at AG Memorial Van Damme. Every series meeting paid the same rate for the same finishing place, so what separates one meeting's pot from another is how many disciplines it ran.
How far down the field does the Diamond League pay?
Eight places. Ninth pays nothing however fast the race was: 1,773 payments in 2024 went to 712 athletes from 88 countries, and 403 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
