Jason Joseph prize money
Jason Joseph has been paid $58,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 525th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 20 paid finishes in the men's 110 m hurdles, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 20 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $58,500 is 20 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 21 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Jason Joseph stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where he finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $23,500 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jason Joseph in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $58,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jason Joseph won?
$58,500, which ranks 525th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 20 paid finishes between 2018 and 2026.
What is Jason Joseph's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 110 m hurdles at the 2025 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. 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 Jason Joseph 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 Jason Joseph won?
One of 21, worth $10,000 between them. Three of his appearances came at a final, which paid $8,500.
Has Jason Joseph 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 Jason Joseph 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.
