Goldie Sayers prize money
Goldie Sayers has been paid $35,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 808th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from ten paid finishes in the women's javelin throw, 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.

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.

season running total
2012 is the biggest of them, $19,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Goldie Sayers in 2013 and 2014, 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 Goldie Sayers won?
$35,500, which ranks 808th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from ten paid finishes between 2010 and 2015.
What is Goldie Sayers's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the javelin throw at the 2012 London 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 Goldie Sayers 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 javelin throw 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 Goldie Sayers won?
One of ten, worth $10,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Goldie Sayers 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.
