Gerald Drummond prize money
Gerald Drummond has been paid $16,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 684th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles and men's 300 m hurdles, 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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond League Shanghai 2025 | 400 m hurdles | 7th | $1,500 |
| Xiamen Diamond League 2025 | 300 m hurdles | 9th | — |
| Prefontaine Classic 2024 | 400 m hurdles | 1st | $10,000 |

| Meeting de Paris 2024 | 400 m hurdles | 5th | $1,250 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2024 | 400 m hurdles | 6th | $1,000 |
| London Athletics Meet 2024 | 400 m hurdles | 7th | $750 |
| All seven | two disciplines | — | $16,000 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $16,000 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One 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 Gerald Drummond won?
$16,000, which ranks 684th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2024 and 2025.
What is Gerald Drummond's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m hurdles at the 2024 Prefontaine Classic. 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 Gerald Drummond 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 win is worth the same in the men's 400 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Gerald Drummond won?
One of seven, worth $10,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $1,500.
Has Gerald Drummond 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 Gerald Drummond 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.
