Ignisious Gaisah prize money
Ignisious Gaisah has been paid $50,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 620th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 18 paid finishes in the men'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.

The 18 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $50,000 is 18 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2014 is the biggest of them, $23,500 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Ignisious Gaisah in 2015, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $50,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ignisious Gaisah won?
$50,000, which ranks 620th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 18 paid finishes between 2010 and 2016.
What is Ignisious Gaisah's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the long jump at the 2014 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 Ignisious Gaisah 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 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 Ignisious Gaisah 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.
