Jermaine Gonzales prize money
Jermaine Gonzales has been paid $64,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 481st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eleven paid finishes in the men's 400 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 eleven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $64,000 is eleven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.06% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jermaine Gonzales won?
$64,000, which ranks 481st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eleven paid finishes between 2010 and 2012.
What is Jermaine Gonzales's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m at the 2011 DN Galan. 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 Jermaine Gonzales 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 400 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 Jermaine Gonzales won?
Two of eleven, worth $20,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Jermaine Gonzales 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.
