Jamal Britt prize money
Jamal Britt has been paid $148,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 182nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 18 paid finishes in the men's 110 m hurdles, five of them wins.
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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 18 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $148,500 is 18 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the 20 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 Jamal Britt won?
$148,500, which ranks 182nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 18 paid finishes between 2023 and 2026.
What is Jamal Britt's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 1st in the Diamond+ 110 m hurdles at the 2026 Shanghai Diamond League. 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 Jamal Britt 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 110 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 Jamal Britt won?
Five of 20, worth $100,000 between them. Three of his appearances came at a final, which paid $20,000.
Has Jamal Britt 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 Jamal Britt 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.
