Cameron Myers prize money
Cameron Myers has been paid $105,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 294th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from nine paid finishes in the men's 1500 m, men's mile and men's 3000 m, two 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 nine paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $105,500 is nine separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.09% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the twelve starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Cameron Myers won?
$105,500, which ranks 294th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from nine paid finishes between 2023 and 2026.
What is Cameron Myers's biggest Diamond League payday?
$60,000, for finishing 1st in the Diamond+ 1500 m at the 2026 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 Cameron Myers 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 1500 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 Cameron Myers won?
Two of twelve, worth $80,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $60,000.
Has Cameron Myers ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
How much did Cameron Myers win at the Ultimate Championship?
$75,000, 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 Cameron Myers earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 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 him, priced off the card it published.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out.

The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Cameron Myers has been paid in three of them. The biggest of the rest are men's 100 m, men's pole vault and men's 800 m. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and AG Memorial Van Damme has its own page across every edition of it. Ultimate Championship prize money is the 2026 championship in Budapest, $10,000,000 over three days, and the full final is on the men's 1500 metres page.
