Dentarius Locke prize money
Dentarius Locke has been paid $13,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1424th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's 100 m, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2016 | 100 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2016 | 100 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Monaco 2013 | 100 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| All three | Men's 100 m | - | $13,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $13,000 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2016 is the biggest of them, $7,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Dentarius Locke in 2014 and 2015, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $13,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Dentarius Locke won?
$13,000, which ranks 1424th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2013 and 2016.
What is Dentarius Locke's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 100 m at the 2013 Monaco. 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 Dentarius Locke 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 100 m 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 Dentarius Locke 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.
