Jarrion Lawson prize money
Jarrion Lawson has been paid $40,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 732nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the men's long jump, 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 eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $40,750 is eight 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. One of the nine starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $26,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jarrion Lawson in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $40,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jarrion Lawson won?
$40,750, which ranks 732nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2016 and 2024.
What is Jarrion Lawson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the long jump at the 2017 Müller Grand Prix Birmingham. 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 Jarrion Lawson 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 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Jarrion Lawson won?
One of nine, worth $10,000 between them. Two of his appearances came at a final, which paid $12,500.
Has Jarrion Lawson ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Jarrion Lawson 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.
