Adidas Grand Prix prize money
Adidas Grand Prix has paid $2,734,500 to 496 athletes across six editions, from 2010 to 2015. Two athletes share the biggest total at the meeting, $40,000 each.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and by nothing else, so the rate here is the series rate: $10,000 for a win at the 2015 edition, eight places paid in every discipline, and nothing for ninth. It has always been a series meeting, so the final ladder has never applied here.

Two athletes are level at the top of the money list, $40,000 apiece, because the series pays by finishing place and a win is a win in every discipline on the card. David Rudisha has won here four times, more than anyone else. 151 of the 496 athletes the meeting has paid were paid at it more than once. The table lists the 40 biggest of 496.

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 16 disciplines and the smallest 15.
Every discipline held at Adidas Grand Prix
How often each one has been on the programme, and what it has paid
A discipline that has been on every programme has paid more here than one that has been on two, and that is the whole of what the column above ranks: the rate is the same in all of them. Each discipline links to what it has paid across the series.
What each place has paid at Adidas Grand Prix
The ladder this meeting has paid under
| PLACE | SERIES |
|---|---|
| 1st | $10,000 |
| 2nd | $6,000 |
| 3rd | $4,000 |
| 4th | $3,000 |
| 5th | $2,500 |

| All eight | $30,000 |
One column per ladder, and a column covers every discipline the meeting ran while that ladder was in force. 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 Adidas Grand Prix paid?
$2,734,500 across six editions, to 496 athletes from 68 countries. That is 2.4% of everything the Diamond League has paid across the sixteen seasons on this site.
What does a win at Adidas Grand Prix pay?
$10,000. 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.
Who has earned the most at Adidas Grand Prix?
Two athletes are level at the top on $40,000 each. 151 of the 496 athletes the meeting has paid were paid at it more than once.
How many editions of Adidas Grand Prix are on this site?
Six, from 2010 to 2015. Those programmes ran 93 disciplines between them and produced 713 payments. It has carried two names, and the current one is Adidas Grand Prix.
Which disciplines does Adidas Grand Prix run?
32 different ones across the six editions, and never all of them at once: the series rotates its programme, so men's 800 m has been on it six times and a discipline's total here is its rate multiplied by how often it was run.
How far down the field does Adidas Grand Prix pay?
Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however fast the race was. 713 payments have gone to 496 athletes at this meeting, and 6 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
