Jessica Ramsey prize money
Jessica Ramsey has been paid $11,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 796th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the women's shot put, the best of them 3rd.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2022 | Shot put | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Bauhausgalan 2022 | Shot put | 6th | $1,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2022 | Shot put | 8th | $500 |
| IAAF Diamond League Shanghai 2019 | Shot put | 4th | $3,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2019 | Shot put | 8th | $2,000 |
| Oslo Bislett Games 2019 | Shot put | 7th | $1,500 |
| All six | Women's shot put | — | $11,500 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $11,500 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Jessica Ramsey stood in one World Indoor Championships final and finished outside the money. The championships pay six places, $40,000 for a title down to $4,000 for 6th, and nothing at all below that. The indoor championships page holds all 53 finals across two editions and the $4,632,000 they paid out.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $6,500 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jessica Ramsey in 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $11,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jessica Ramsey won?
$11,500, which ranks 796th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2019 and 2022.
What is Jessica Ramsey's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the shot put at the 2022 Doha Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Jessica Ramsey 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 place is worth the same in the women's shot put 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.
Is this everything Jessica Ramsey 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.
