Alyssa Jones prize money
Alyssa Jones has been paid $27,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 501st of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's long jump, one of them a win.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2026 | Long jump | 1st | $20,000 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2026 | Long jump | 4th | $4,000 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2026 | Long jump | 4th | $3,000 |
| All three | Women's long jump | — | $27,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $27,000 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Alyssa Jones won?
$27,000, which ranks 501st of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes in 2026.
What is Alyssa Jones's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 1st in the Diamond+ long jump at the 2026 Kamila Skolimowska Memorial. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Alyssa Jones 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 win is worth the same in the women's long jump 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 Alyssa Jones won?
One of three, worth $20,000 between them. One of her appearance came at a final, which paid $4,000.
How much did Alyssa Jones win at the Ultimate Championship?
$40,000, from one paid final at the 2026 championship in Budapest. World Athletics pays $150,000 for a win there, $75,000 for second and $40,000 for third, the same in all 26 individual events.
Is this everything Alyssa Jones earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The Ultimate Championship 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 her, priced off the card it published.
