Armand Duplantis: How much does he get for breaking pole vault world record?

Advertisements

Armand Duplantis has broken the men’s pole vault world record for a 14th time in his career – but how much money does he make from achieving the feat?

The Swedish star vaulted 6.30m in Tokyo to break the world record for a fourth time in 2025.

Duplantis takes home £74,000 for setting a new world record in Tokyo, and also pockets an additional £51,400 for winning gold.

The amount of money on offer for breaking a world record fluctuates and depends on the prize money available at each meeting.

Puma – Duplantis’ sponsor – also reportedly awards bonuses for breaking world records, though it was unwilling to disclose any contractual details.

The 25-year-old set his first world record in 2020 by clearing 6.19m, and has improved his distance by a centimetre at a time until reaching 6.30m in Tokyo.
