Alex Wilson prize money
Alex Wilson has been paid $13,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1388th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight 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.

| Weltklasse Zürich 2012 | 200 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All nine | two disciplines | - | $13,750 |
The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $13,750 is eight 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. One of the nine starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2018 is the biggest of them, $5,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Alex Wilson in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $13,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Alex Wilson won?
$13,750, which ranks 1388th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2012 and 2021.
What is Alex Wilson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 6th in the 200 m at the 2018 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 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. That start 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 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.
