Charlene Lipsey prize money
Charlene Lipsey has been paid $4,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1203rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's 800 m, the best of them 6th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting de Paris 2018 | 800 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2017 | 800 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| All two | Women's 800 m | — | $4,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,000 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% 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 Charlene Lipsey won?
$4,000, which ranks 1203rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2017 and 2018.
What is Charlene Lipsey's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the 800 m at the 2018 Meeting de Paris. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Charlene Lipsey 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 800 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.
Is this everything Charlene Lipsey 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.
