Ameer Webb prize money
Ameer Webb has been paid $89,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 356th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 17 paid finishes in the men's 200 m and men's 100 m, three of them wins.
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.

The 17 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $89,500 is 17 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.08% 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 Ameer Webb won?
$89,500, which ranks 356th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 17 paid finishes between 2015 and 2018.
What is Ameer Webb's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the 200 m at the 2017 AG Memorial Van Damme. 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 Ameer Webb 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 win 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Ameer Webb won?
Three of 17, worth $30,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $20,000.
Is this everything Ameer Webb 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.
