AG Memorial Van Damme prize money
AG Memorial Van Damme has paid $13,687,000 to 1,243 athletes across sixteen editions, from 2010 to 2026. Christian Taylor has taken more of it than anyone, $142,000.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and by nothing else, so the rate here is the series rate: $30,000 for a win at the 2026 edition, eight places paid in every discipline, and nothing for ninth. Five of the sixteen editions here held the series final, which pays on its own ladder: $30,000 for a win at the 2026 final. 12 of the 279 disciplines on those programmes have been Diamond+, which pays double.

What each edition paid
season running total
The line is the running total. A meeting's pot is its rate multiplied by its programme, so the columns move with how many disciplines were on the card rather than with who turned up: the biggest edition here ran 32 disciplines and the smallest 14. The tall columns are 2017, 2018, 2019, 2024 and 2026, when the series final was held here and every discipline paid on the final ladder.

One column per ladder, and a column covers every discipline the meeting ran while that ladder was in force. The series ladder has been rewritten two times inside the run of editions here, and a win has paid $10,000 under every version of it. What moved is underneath: eighth place was worth $1,000 on the oldest card on this table and $1,000 on the current one, and the eight places together came to $30,000 against $30,000. There is no appearance money in any of it, nothing 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 has AG Memorial Van Damme paid?
$13,687,000 across sixteen editions, to 1,243 athletes from 105 countries. That is 12.1% of everything the Diamond League has paid across the sixteen seasons on this site.
What does a win at AG Memorial Van Damme pay?
$30,000, and double that in a Diamond+ discipline. It is the same figure in every discipline on the programme, so a win in the shot put pays what a win in the 100 m pays. Five of the sixteen editions here were the series final, which pays several times what a series meeting pays.
Who has earned the most at AG Memorial Van Damme?
Christian Taylor, on $142,000 from seven paid finishes, three of them wins. 526 of the 1,243 athletes the meeting has paid were paid at it more than once.
How many editions of AG Memorial Van Damme are on this site?
Sixteen, from 2010 to 2026. Those programmes ran 279 disciplines between them and produced 2,157 payments. It has carried five names, and the current one is AG Memorial Van Damme.
Which disciplines does AG Memorial Van Damme run?
34 different ones across the sixteen editions, and never all of them at once: the series rotates its programme, so men's discus throw has been on it ten times and a discipline's total here is its rate multiplied by how often it was run.
How far down the field does AG Memorial Van Damme pay?
Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however fast the race was. 2,157 payments have gone to 1,243 athletes at this meeting, and 170 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
