Brittney Reese prize money
Brittney Reese has been paid $210,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 95th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 31 paid finishes in the women's long jump, twelve 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 31 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $210,500 is 31 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 32 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2011 is the biggest of them, $50,000 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Brittney Reese in 2018, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $210,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Brittney Reese won?
$210,500, which ranks 95th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 31 paid finishes between 2010 and 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 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 Brittney Reese won?
Twelve of 32, worth $120,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $25,000.
Has Brittney Reese 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 Brittney Reese 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 her, priced off the card it published.
