Ainsley Waugh prize money
Ainsley Waugh has been paid $15,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1323rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the men's 200 m and men's 100 m, the best of them 3rd.
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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala 2012 | 100 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| DN Galan 2011 | 200 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix 2011 | 200 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Memorial van Damme 2011 | 200 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Athletissima 2010 | 200 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Herculis 2010 | 200 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Golden Gala 2010 | 200 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All seven | two disciplines | - | $15,000 |
The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $15,000 is seven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ainsley Waugh won?
$15,000, which ranks 1323rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2010 and 2012.
What is Ainsley Waugh's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 200 m at the 2011 DN Galan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Ainsley Waugh 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 place 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.
Is this everything Ainsley Waugh earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. It holds no championship prize money, 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.
