Dani Stevens prize money
Dani Stevens has been paid $145,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 192nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 28 paid finishes in the women's discus throw, one of them a win.
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
The 28 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $145,000 is 28 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% 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 Dani Stevens won?
$145,000, which ranks 192nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 28 paid finishes between 2010 and 2018.
What is Dani Stevens's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the discus throw at the 2017 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 Dani Stevens 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 discus 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 Dani Stevens won?
One of 28, worth $10,000 between them. One of her appearance came at a final, which paid $20,000.
Is this everything Dani Stevens 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.
