Brittney Reese prize money
Brittney Reese has been paid $30,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 458th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's long jump, the best of them 2nd.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2019 | Long jump | 2nd | $20,000 |
| Müller Anniversary Games 2019 | Long jump | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2019 | Long jump | 3rd | $4,000 |
| All three | Women's long jump | — | $30,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $30,000 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.06% 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 Brittney Reese won?
$30,000, which ranks 458th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes in 2019.
What is Brittney Reese's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the long jump at the 2019 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 Brittney Reese 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 place 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.
Is this everything Brittney Reese 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 her, priced off the card it published.
