Alex Wilson prize money
Alex Wilson has been paid $2,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1354th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 200 m and men's 100 m, the best of them 6th.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2021 | 200 m | 7th | $750 |
| Athletissima 2019 | 200 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2019 | 100 m | 9th | — |
| All three | two disciplines | — | $2,750 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,750 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the three starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $2,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Alex Wilson in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $2,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Alex Wilson won?
$2,750, which ranks 1354th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2019 and 2021.
What is Alex Wilson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the 200 m at the 2019 Athletissima. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Alex Wilson 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.
Has Alex Wilson ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. He is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Alex Wilson earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
