Jemma Reekie prize money
Jemma Reekie has been paid $73,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 198th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 24 paid finishes in the women's 800 m, women's 1500 m and women's 1000 m, 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 she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 24 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $73,750 is 24 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Five of the 29 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2024 is the biggest of them, $23,500 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jemma Reekie in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $73,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jemma Reekie won?
$73,750, which ranks 198th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 24 paid finishes between 2019 and 2026.
What is Jemma Reekie's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 800 m at the 2023 London Athletics Meet. 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 Jemma Reekie gets paid?
Entirely by where she 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 women's 800 m 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 Jemma Reekie won?
One of 29, worth $10,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $6,500.
Has Jemma Reekie ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Five 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. She are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Jemma Reekie earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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 her, priced off the card it published.
