Men's high jump prize money
The Diamond League has paid $3,459,500 in the men's high jump, to 113 athletes across 107 runnings of it, from 2010 to 2026. Mutaz Barsham has taken more of it than anyone, $409,833.
The series pays by finishing place and by nothing else, so a win here is worth what a win in any other discipline is worth: $10,000 at a 2026 series meeting, eight places paid, and nothing for ninth. Nine of the 107 runnings were at the series final, which pays on its own ladder: $30,000 for the win at the 2026 final. Four of the 107 runnings were Diamond+, which pays double.

Every Diamond League men's high jump
Who won it, what the win paid and what the field took
What the men's high jump paid each season
season running total
The line is the running total. A season's figure is the rate multiplied by how many meetings put the discipline on, so the columns move with the programme rather than with who turned up: 2010 ran it seven times and 2021 five times. One of the 107 runnings was tied at the top: athletes level for a place take the places between them and split the money for all of them, so a three-way tie for the win is first, second and third added up and divided by three.

Every meeting pays the same ladder, so this column ranks how often each one put the discipline on rather than how generous it is. Doha Diamond League has run it twelve times and paid $364,000 for it. Each meeting links to everything it has paid across every edition of it.

One column per ladder, and none of them is specific to this discipline: the men's high jump is paid on the same card as the 100 m and the shot put at the same meeting. There is no appearance money in any of it, nothing for a record, and nothing at all for ninth place. The Diamond+ columns are the four of 107 runnings where the series doubled the discipline's rate for the day.
Frequently asked questions
How much prize money does the Diamond League pay in the men's high jump?
$3,459,500 across 107 runnings of it, to 113 athletes from 40 countries. That is 3.1% of everything the series has paid, and the 17th biggest of the 41 disciplines on this site.
What does a win in the men's high jump pay?
$10,000, and double that at a meeting where it is a Diamond+ discipline. It is the same figure in every discipline on a programme, so a win here pays exactly what a win in the 100 m pays. Nine of the 107 runnings were at the series final, which pays on its own ladder: $30,000 for the win at the 2026 final.
Who has earned the most in the men's high jump?
Mutaz Barsham, on $409,833 from 60 paid finishes, 23 of them wins. 87 of the 113 athletes the discipline has paid were paid in it more than once.
Who has won the most Diamond League men's high jump titles?
Mutaz Barsham, on 23 wins. 36 different athletes have won a Diamond League men's high jump across the 107 runnings on this site.
How often does the Diamond League run the men's high jump?
107 times across sixteen seasons, from 2010 to 2026, on the programmes of 19 different meetings. Doha Diamond League has run it twelve times, more than anywhere else. The series rotates its programme, so no discipline is on every card.
How far down the field does the men's high jump pay?
Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however good the mark was. 838 payments have gone to 113 athletes in this discipline, and 71 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
