Darrell Hill prize money
Darrell Hill has been paid $23,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 552nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the men's shot put, the best of them 2nd.
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.

| Prefontaine Classic 2022 | Shot put | 4th | $2,000 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2021 | Shot put | 6th | $1,000 |

| Bislett Games 2018 | Shot put | 3rd | $4,000 |
| All seven | Men's shot put | — | $23,000 |
The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $23,000 is seven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $16,000 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Darrell Hill in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $23,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Darrell Hill won?
$23,000, which ranks 552nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2018 and 2022.
What is Darrell Hill's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the shot put at the 2019 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Darrell Hill 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 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.
Is this everything Darrell Hill 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 him, priced off the card it published.
