Brandon Hicklin prize money
Brandon Hicklin has been paid $29,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 900th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from ten paid finishes in the men's 100 m and men's 200 m, the best of them 3rd.
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 ten paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $29,750 is ten separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Athletics Relays
What Brandon Hicklin ran on
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 100 metres relay | 2nd | 37.66 | $20,000 |
The World Relays have paid $20,000 for the one team Brandon Hicklin ran on in Guangzhou 2025, and all of it went to the United States rather than to the four who ran. The $29,750 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid him. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team he ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. He ran alongside Courtney Lindsey, Kenny Bednarek and Kyree King, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Brandon Hicklin won?
$29,750, which ranks 900th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from ten paid finishes between 2024 and 2026.
What is Brandon Hicklin's biggest Diamond League payday?
$5,000, for finishing 4th in the Diamond+ 100 m at the 2025 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Brandon Hicklin 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 100 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.
What did Brandon Hicklin's World Relays teams win?
$20,000, across one paid final in Guangzhou 2025. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Brandon Hicklin or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Brandon Hicklin earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Relays 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 him, priced off the card it published.
