He seems to win quite a bit. I wonder how much he makes.

i think Nike probably pays him quite well. And he must get a generous appearance fee. He has to be the most popular athlete in Europe.

About $47, which is $24 more than the average elite.
I heard he gets a LRC shirt if he double wins the World Championships with WR's in the 1500 and 5k.
Guessing $400K per year.
He’s also a high profile celebrity athlete in his country and has been awarded free BMWs, watches, and other high value items as sponsorships

Not even close.
After his olympic gold, Jakob went to Oregon for the Pre Classic, and at the same time signed an extension with Nike. Some details from a couple years ago:
From Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten:
- I am not allowed to say sums. But it gets extremely much better. That means quite a few millions, says Daniel Wessfeldt.
- He already has good deals. But now he can choose which collaboration agreements he wants. That door has been ajar. It is now open to multinational companies. The agreement with the school provider is multiplied, the start money is multiplied. Everything is in front of him...
Rune Brynhildsen, the previous commercial manager for Familien Ingebrigtsen, postulates that Jakob can earn up to 15M NOK a year ($1.69M/year) following his Tokyo gold.
Confirming the money distribution between the family, the Ingebrigtsens have had an internal distribution policy in the family. This means that money drips a little on everyone even if only one succeeds. That's how it was when Henrik broke through, when Filip broke through and finally when Jakob broke through. Everyone knows that Jakob would not have been where he is without the rest of the team.
An FYI: Warholm is now the Diamond League's best paid athlete, earning approximately $11K per hurdle per meet.

Wait, am I reading that right? Warholm gets an 110,000$ appearance fee per meet?

Not surprising. World record holder who destroyed a nearly 3 decade old record in an event that seems to be extremely popular everywhere (most people I’ve met that know a track athlete here in the US only really know Sydney McLaughlin). If anyone was earning a $100k appearance fee, it’d be him.
does anybody know what tickets go for at these events? the pay for these events with star studded fields has to be a pretty big number.
I imagine majority of the money for each meet comes from streaming/tv rights + ads/sponsors. Stadium money prolly pays for staffing, renting the venue, and other fees associated with hosting the meet. But as a reference, London tickets are currently going anywhere from £23 for mediocre seats to £200 for rlly good seats.
Prize money, which has remained unchanged since 2010, is an insignificant part of what the top elites earn. Winning a single DL race earns you $10k.
Appearance fees and sponsors provide the vast bulk of earnings. Bolt was rumored to cost $300k per meet in his heyday.
I'd wager a double gold in Budapest will make this a $2.0M-$2.5M season for Jakob. The best always opt for a few risky, but profitable performance clauses in their contracts.

Someone has posted on here in the past that Jakob has a 3-year appearance deal with Lausanne DL to run their meet for $150K over 3 years.
J Ingebrigtsen should not make more than S M L.
