Katie Mackey prize money
Katie Mackey has been paid $12,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1456th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's 3000 m and women's 1500 m, one of them a win.
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 she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| IAAF Diamond League Shanghai 2017 | 1500 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Herculis 2016 | 3000 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Bauhausgalan 2015 | 3000 m | 1st | $10,000 |
| All three | two disciplines | - | $12,500 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $12,500 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Katie Mackey won?
$12,500, which ranks 1456th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2015 and 2017.
What is Katie Mackey's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 3000 m at the 2015 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Katie Mackey 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 3000 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 Katie Mackey won?
One of three, worth $10,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Katie Mackey 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.
