Joanna Atkins prize money
Joanna Atkins has been paid $19,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1182nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the women's 200 m and women's 400 m, 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2018 | 200 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2017 | 200 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Muller Anniversary Games 2016 | 200 m | 3rd | $4,000 |

| Belgacom Memorial Van Damme 2014 | 200 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2014 | 400 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Athletissima 2013 | 400 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| All eight | two disciplines | - | $19,000 |
The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $19,000 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2014 is the biggest of them, $8,500 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Joanna Atkins in 2015, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $19,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Joanna Atkins won?
$19,000, which ranks 1182nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2013 and 2018.
What is Joanna Atkins's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 200 m at the 2016 Muller Anniversary 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 Joanna Atkins 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 200 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.
Is this everything Joanna Atkins 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.
