Deon Lendore prize money
Deon Lendore has been paid $15,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1300th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's 400 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltklasse Zürich 2021 | 400 m | 3rd | $7,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2021 | 400 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Allianz Memorial Van Damme 2021 | 400 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2016 | 400 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All four | Men's 400 m | - | $15,750 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $15,750 is four 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
2021 is the biggest of them, $14,250 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Deon Lendore in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $15,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Deon Lendore won?
$15,750, which ranks 1300th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2016 and 2021.
What is Deon Lendore's biggest Diamond League payday?
$7,000, for finishing 3rd in the 400 m 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 Deon Lendore 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 400 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 Deon Lendore 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.
