Christin Hussong prize money
Christin Hussong has been paid $80,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 388th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from thirteen paid finishes in the women's javelin throw, three 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 thirteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $80,750 is thirteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.07% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $43,500 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Christin Hussong in 2017, 2020 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $80,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Christin Hussong won?
$80,750, which ranks 388th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from thirteen paid finishes between 2015 and 2023.
What is Christin Hussong's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the javelin throw 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 Christin Hussong 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 javelin throw 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 Christin Hussong won?
Three of thirteen, worth $50,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $36,000.
Is this everything Christin Hussong 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.
