Kate Grace prize money
Kate Grace has been paid $58,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 524th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from fourteen paid finishes in the women's 800 m, women's mile and women's 1500 m, two of them wins.
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 fourteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $58,750 is fourteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $46,250 from seven starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Kate Grace in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $58,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kate Grace won?
$58,750, which ranks 524th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fourteen paid finishes between 2013 and 2021.
What is Kate Grace's biggest Diamond League payday?
$12,000, for finishing 2nd in the 800 m at the 2021 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Kate Grace 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 win is worth the same in the women's 800 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Kate Grace won?
Two of fourteen, worth $20,000 between them. One of her appearance came at a final, which paid $12,000.
Is this everything Kate Grace 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.
