Katarina Johnson-Thompson prize money
Katarina Johnson-Thompson has been paid $37,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 786th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from thirteen paid finishes in the women's long jump and women's high jump, 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.

The thirteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $37,000 is thirteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

What Katarina Johnson-Thompson won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $15,500 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Katarina Johnson-Thompson in 2015 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $37,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Katarina Johnson-Thompson won?
$37,000, which ranks 786th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from thirteen paid finishes between 2014 and 2025.
What is Katarina Johnson-Thompson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 3rd in the long jump at the 2019 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Katarina Johnson-Thompson 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 long jump 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 much did Katarina Johnson-Thompson win at the 2025 World Championships?
$19,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Katarina Johnson-Thompson earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money

Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full final is on the women's heptathlon page.
