Jacob Wooten prize money
Jacob Wooten has been paid $4,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2198th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's pole vault, the best of them 4th.
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 2024 | Pole vault | 4th | $2,000 |
| Xiamen Diamond League 2024 | Pole vault | =6th | $750 |
| Meeting de Paris 2024 | Pole vault | 11th | - |
| Athletissima 2024 | Pole vault | 9th | - |
| Prefontaine Classic 2022 | Pole vault | 5th | $1,250 |
| All five | Men's pole vault | - | $4,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,000 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the five starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2024 is the biggest of them, $2,750 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jacob Wooten in 2023, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $4,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jacob Wooten won?
$4,000, which ranks 2198th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2022 and 2024.
What is Jacob Wooten's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 4th in the pole vault at the 2024 Diamond League Shanghai. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Jacob Wooten 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 pole vault 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 Jacob Wooten ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two 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 Jacob Wooten 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.
