List of Armand Duplantis World Records – How much does the Swede pole vaulter earn for breaking his own world record?
Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis has made a habit of breaking his own records, not once, twice, but multiple times. The Swedish once again broke his own world record in the Sierra Diamond League recently, now making it 6.26 metres. In this article we will look at how much the Swede pole vaulter earns for breaking his own world record?
It is sheer insanity that we are witnessing, as no other athlete (bar the household names of Lionel Messi and Michael Jordan) has dominated their sport in such a way, that too at the age of 24. The Swedish is already the greatest pole vaulter of all time without a shadow of a doubt in everyone’s minds.
It gets even more crazy and special when you look at the top 10 highest recorded pole vaults of all time, and there is no name reflected other than that of Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis.

How much does Armand Duplantis earn for breaking his world records?
The Swedish has now broken his own world record for the 10th time, and it is not like he has broken these records in a matter of years. The 24-year-old outperforms himself on a regular basis, sometimes even a few weeks or days apart.
It has been revealed that Duplantis earns between $30,000 and $100,000 every time he breaks his own record from his sponsor, Puma, according to TIME. Due to this, some fans on social media speculate if he knowingly breaks his personal best by a margin of centimetres, for gaining some extra earnings.
If this is true, it is a very smart and economical move by the Swedish, who fans think can easily cross 6.40 metres currently, and eventually the 6.50 metres by the end of his career. But when you have effectively been competing with yourself since the start of your professional career, these perks seemed obvious to come around sooner or later.
