George Mills prize money
George Mills has been paid $23,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1044th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the men's 1500 m, men's mile and men's 5000 m, 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.

The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $23,500 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Four of the twelve starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $9,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid George Mills in 2022, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $23,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has George Mills won?
$23,500, which ranks 1044th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2021 and 2025.
What is George Mills's biggest Diamond League payday?
$7,000, for finishing 3rd in the mile 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 George Mills 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 1500 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.
Has George Mills ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Four 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 George Mills 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.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out.

George Mills is one of 249 Great Britain athletes athletics has paid, and Great Britain athletics prize money adds them up to $6,351,625 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's 1500 m prize money, men's mile prize money, men's 5000 m prize money and men's 3000 m prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and George Mills has been paid in four of them. The biggest of the rest are men's 100 m, men's pole vault and men's 800 m. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Bislett Games has its own page across every edition of it. Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full final is on the men's 5000 metres page.
