Daniel Roberts prize money
Daniel Roberts has been paid $79,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 394th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 18 paid finishes in the men's 110 m hurdles, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 18 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $79,750 is 18 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.
The Olympic Games
What Daniel Roberts won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Men's 110 metres hurdles | Silver | - |
The silver in the men's 110 metres hurdles paid nothing. Only a gold pays, so 97 of the 145 medals awarded on the athletics programme in Paris carried no money at all. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

season running total
2024 is the biggest of them, $30,250 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Daniel Roberts in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $79,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Daniel Roberts won?
$79,750, which ranks 394th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 18 paid finishes between 2019 and 2025.
What is Daniel Roberts's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 110 m hurdles at the 2024 Xiamen Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Daniel Roberts 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 win is worth the same in the men's 110 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Daniel Roberts won?
Three of 18, worth $30,000 between them. Three of his appearances came at a final, which paid $12,000.
Is this everything Daniel Roberts 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.
