Heather MacLean prize money
Heather MacLean has been paid $19,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1173rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the women's 1500 m and women's mile, 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 seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $19,250 is seven 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. Six of the thirteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2022 is the biggest of them, $10,750 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Heather MacLean in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2026, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $19,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Heather MacLean won?
$19,250, which ranks 1173rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2019 and 2026.
What is Heather MacLean's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 1500 m at the 2022 Herculis. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Heather MacLean 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 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 Heather MacLean ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Six 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 Heather MacLean 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.
Where to next
