Xiamen Diamond League prize money
Xiamen Diamond League has paid $1,675,000 to 325 athletes across four editions, from 2023 to 2026. Valarie Sion has taken more of it than anyone, $40,000.
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 2026 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. 12 of the 55 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 14 disciplines and the smallest 13.

What each place has paid at Xiamen Diamond League
The four ladders this meeting has paid under
| PLACE | SERIES | SERIES | SERIES + | SERIES + |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | $10,000 | $10,000 | $20,000 | $20,000 |
| 2nd | $6,000 | $6,000 | $10,000 | $6,000 |
| 3rd | $3,500 | $4,000 | $6,000 | $4,000 |
| 4th | $2,000 | $3,000 | $5,000 | $3,000 |
| 5th | $1,250 | $2,500 | $3,000 | $2,500 |
| 6th | $1,000 | $2,000 | $2,500 | $2,000 |

| All eight | $25,000 | $30,000 | $50,000 | $40,000 |
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 once 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 $500 on the oldest card on this table and $1,000 on the current one, and the eight places together came to $25,000 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 Xiamen Diamond League paid?
$1,675,000 across four editions, to 325 athletes from 63 countries. That is 1.5% of everything the Diamond League has paid across the sixteen seasons on this site.
What does a win at Xiamen Diamond League pay?
$10,000, 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.
Who has earned the most at Xiamen Diamond League?
Valarie Sion, on $40,000 from three paid finishes, three of them wins. 95 of the 325 athletes the meeting has paid were paid at it more than once.
How many editions of Xiamen Diamond League are on this site?
Four, from 2023 to 2026. Those programmes ran 55 disciplines between them and produced 440 payments.
Which disciplines does Xiamen Diamond League run?
27 different ones across the four editions, and never all of them at once: the series rotates its programme, so men's 110 m hurdles has been on it four times and a discipline's total here is its rate multiplied by how often it was run.
How far down the field does Xiamen Diamond League pay?
Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however fast the race was. 440 payments have gone to 325 athletes at this meeting, and 153 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
