Alaysha Johnson prize money
Alaysha Johnson has been paid $44,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 679th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 17 paid finishes in the women's 100 m hurdles, the best of them 2nd.
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 she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 17 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $44,500 is 17 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the 20 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Alaysha Johnson 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 she finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Alaysha Johnson won?
$44,500, which ranks 679th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 17 paid finishes between 2023 and 2026.
What is Alaysha Johnson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the Diamond+ 100 m hurdles at the 2026 Herculis EBS. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Alaysha Johnson gets paid?
Entirely by where she 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 women's 100 m hurdles 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.
Has Alaysha Johnson ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three times. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Alaysha Johnson 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 her, priced off the card it published.
