Donald Scott prize money
Donald Scott has been paid $40,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 376th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from sixteen paid finishes in the men's triple jump, the best of them 3rd.
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.

The sixteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $40,000 is sixteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.07% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 17 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $12,250 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Donald Scott in 2020 and 2024, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $40,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Donald Scott won?
$40,000, which ranks 376th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from sixteen paid finishes between 2019 and 2025.
What is Donald Scott's biggest Diamond League payday?
$7,000, for finishing 3rd in the triple jump at the 2023 Prefontaine Classic. 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 Donald Scott 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 triple jump 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.
Has Donald Scott ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. He is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Donald Scott 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.
