Diondre Batson prize money
Diondre Batson has been paid $5,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1951st 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 5th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adidas Grand Prix 2015 | 100 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2015 | 100 m | =6th | $1,750 |
| Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix 2015 | 100 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All three | Men's 100 m | - | $5,750 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,750 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Diondre Batson won?
$5,750, which ranks 1951st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes in 2015.
What is Diondre Batson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the 100 m at the 2015 Adidas Grand Prix. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Diondre Batson 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 Diondre Batson 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.
