Kahmari Montgomery prize money
Kahmari Montgomery has been paid $17,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1235th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's 400 m, the best of them 2nd.
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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birmingham Diamond League 2022 | 400 m | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2022 | 400 m | 9th | - |
| Prefontaine Classic 2019 | 400 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2019 | 400 m | 5th | $5,000 |
| Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 2019 | 400 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| All five | Men's 400 m | - | $17,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $17,500 is four 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. One of the five starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $14,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Kahmari Montgomery in 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $17,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kahmari Montgomery won?
$17,500, which ranks 1235th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2019 and 2022.
What is Kahmari Montgomery's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 400 m at the 2019 Prefontaine Classic. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Kahmari Montgomery 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 place 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.
Has Kahmari Montgomery ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Kahmari Montgomery 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.
