Chris McAlister prize money
Chris McAlister has been paid $5,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2010th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles, the best of them 5th.
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.

| Weltklasse Zürich 2021 | 400 m hurdles | 7th | $1,500 |

The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,250 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Chris McAlister won?
$5,250, which ranks 2010th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2021 and 2022.
What is Chris McAlister's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,500, for finishing 7th in the 400 m hurdles at the 2021 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 Chris McAlister 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 place is worth the same in the men's 400 m hurdles 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 Chris McAlister 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 him, priced off the card it published.
