English Gardner prize money
English Gardner has been paid $35,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 807th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from ten paid finishes in the women's 100 m and women's 200 m, one of them a win.
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.

| Sainsburys Anniversary Games 2013 | 100 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| All eleven | two disciplines | - | $35,500 |
The ten paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $35,500 is ten separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the eleven starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2016 is the biggest of them, $16,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid English Gardner in 2017, 2018 and 2019, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $35,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has English Gardner won?
$35,500, which ranks 807th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from ten paid finishes between 2013 and 2019.
What is English Gardner's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 100 m at the 2016 British Athletics 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 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what English Gardner gets paid?
Entirely by where she finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a win is worth the same in the women'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.
How many Diamond League meetings has English Gardner won?
One of eleven, worth $10,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Has English Gardner 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything English Gardner 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 her, priced off the card it published.
