Aaron Brown prize money
Aaron Brown has been paid $167,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 148th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 45 paid finishes in the men's 200 m and men's 100 m, two of them wins.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 45 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $167,000 is 45 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Championships
What Aaron Brown did in Tokyo, 2025
Aaron Brown went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. He ran on the Canada team that finished 2nd in the men's 4 × 100 metres relay, $40,000 to the federation rather than to any one of the four. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The Ultimate Championship
What Aaron Brown did in Budapest, 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 200 metres | 7th | 20.23 | - |
Aaron Brown stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where he finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.
The World Athletics Relays
What Aaron Brown ran on, 2025 and 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 100 metres relay | 3rd | 38.11 | $10,000 |
| Men's 4 × 100 metres relay | 7th | 40.06 | $3,000 |
The World Relays have paid $13,000 for the two teams Aaron Brown ran on across Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026, and all of it went to Canada rather than to the four who ran. The $167,000 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid him. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team he ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. He ran alongside Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney and Andre De Grasse, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.
The Olympic Games
What Aaron Brown won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 100 metres relay | Gold | - |
The men's 4 × 100 metres relay gold was worth $50,000 and was paid to the federation as a single cheque, with nothing published about how it was split between the runners. It is not his and is not added to the $167,000 at the top of this page. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

season running total
2022 is the biggest of them, $35,000 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Aaron Brown in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $167,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Aaron Brown won?
$167,000, which ranks 148th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 45 paid finishes between 2015 and 2026.
What is Aaron Brown's biggest Diamond League payday?
$12,000, for finishing 2nd in the 200 m at the 2022 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Aaron Brown gets paid?
Entirely by where he finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a win is worth the same in the men's 200 m as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
How many Diamond League meetings has Aaron Brown won?
Two of 45, worth $20,000 between them. Seven of his appearances came at a final, which paid $43,000.
What did Aaron Brown's World Relays teams win?
$13,000, across two paid finals at Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Aaron Brown or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Aaron Brown earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Relays money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid him, priced off the card it published.
