Ese Brume prize money
Ese Brume has been paid $29,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 921st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the women's long jump, 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.

| Athletissima 2018 | Long jump | 4th | $3,000 |
| All eight | Women's long jump | - | $29,000 |
The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $29,000 is eight 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.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $19,250 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Ese Brume in 2019, 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $29,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ese Brume won?
$29,000, which ranks 921st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2018 and 2023.
What is Ese Brume's biggest Diamond League payday?
$12,000, for finishing 2nd in the long 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 Ese Brume 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 place is worth the same in the women's long 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.
Is this everything Ese Brume 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.
