Men's long jump prize money
The Diamond League has paid $3,192,500 in the men's long jump, to 131 athletes across 95 runnings of it, from 2010 to 2026. Miltiadis Tentoglou has taken more of it than anyone, $263,500.
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 95 runnings were at the series final, which pays on its own ladder: $30,000 for the win at the 2026 final. Five of the 95 runnings were Diamond+, which pays double.

Every Diamond League men's long jump
Who won it, what the win paid and what the field took
What the men's long 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 2017 five times. Nobody has ever shared the win in it, so every figure in the win column is one athlete's cheque.

Every meeting pays the same ladder, so this column ranks how often each one put the discipline on rather than how generous it is. Weltklasse Zürich has run it thirteen times and paid $682,000 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 long 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 five of 95 runnings where the series doubled the discipline's rate for the day.

What does a win in the men's long 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.

Who has earned the most in the men's long jump?

How far down the field does the men's long jump pay?
Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however good the mark was. 743 payments have gone to 131 athletes in this discipline, and 31 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
