Jessie Knight prize money
Jessie Knight has been paid $13,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 738th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from nine paid finishes in the women's 400 m hurdles, 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.

The nine paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $13,500 is nine separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jessie Knight won?
$13,500, which ranks 738th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from nine paid finishes between 2021 and 2024.
What is Jessie Knight's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the 400 m hurdles at the 2022 Bislett Games. 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 Jessie Knight 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 400 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.
Is this everything Jessie Knight 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.
