Eric Edwards Jr. prize money
Eric Edwards Jr. has been paid $5,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1974th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's 110 m hurdles, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prefontaine Classic 2026 | 110 m hurdles | 8th | $1,000 |
| Xiamen Diamond League 2026 | 110 m hurdles | 9th | - |
| Diamond League Shanghai 2025 | 110 m hurdles | 9th | - |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2024 | 110 m hurdles | 7th | $1,500 |
| Xiamen Diamond League 2024 | 110 m hurdles | 5th | $1,250 |
| Diamond League Shanghai 2024 | 110 m hurdles | 5th | $1,250 |
| Meeting de Paris 2023 | 110 m hurdles | 8th | $500 |
| All seven | Men's 110 m hurdles | - | $5,500 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,500 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the seven starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Eric Edwards Jr. won?
$5,500, which ranks 1974th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2023 and 2026.
What is Eric Edwards Jr.'s biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,500, for finishing 7th in the 110 m hurdles at the 2024 AG Memorial Van Damme. 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 Eric Edwards Jr. 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 110 m hurdles 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 Eric Edwards Jr. ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Eric Edwards Jr. 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.
