Jennifer Meadows prize money
Jennifer Meadows has been paid $52,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 590th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from thirteen paid finishes in the women's 800 m, two 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.

The thirteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $52,500 is thirteen 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.

season running total
2011 is the biggest of them, $30,500 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jennifer Meadows in 2012 and 2013, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $52,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jennifer Meadows won?
$52,500, which ranks 590th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from thirteen paid finishes between 2010 and 2015.
What is Jennifer Meadows's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 800 m at the 2011 Shanghai Golden Grand Prix. 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 Jennifer Meadows 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 Jennifer Meadows won?
Two of thirteen, worth $20,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Jennifer Meadows 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 her, priced off the card it published.
