Chase Ealey prize money
Chase Ealey has been paid $125,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 104th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from fourteen paid finishes in the women's shot put, six 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 fourteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $125,000 is fourteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% 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 Chase Ealey won?
$125,000, which ranks 104th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from fourteen paid finishes between 2019 and 2023.
What is Chase Ealey's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the shot put at the 2022 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Chase Ealey 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 shot put 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 Chase Ealey won?
Six of fourteen, worth $80,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $54,000.
Is this everything Chase Ealey 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.
