Katie Moon prize money
Katie Moon has been paid $292,875 by the Diamond League, which ranks 52nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 47 paid finishes in the women's pole vault, eleven 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 47 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $292,875 is 47 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.3% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Championships
What Katie Moon did in Tokyo, 2025
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's pole vault | 1st | 4.90 | $70,000 |
The 2025 World Championships paid Katie Moon $70,000 for one finish in Tokyo, against $292,875 from 47 Diamond League starts between 2016 and 2026. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The Ultimate Championship
What Katie Moon did in Budapest, 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's pole vault | 6th | 4.70 m | - |
Katie Moon stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where she finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.
The Olympic Games
What Katie Moon won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Women's pole vault | Silver | - |
The silver in the women's pole vault paid nothing. Only a gold pays, so 97 of the 145 medals awarded on the athletics programme in Paris carried no money at all. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $98,000 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Katie Moon in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $292,875.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Katie Moon won?
$292,875, which ranks 52nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 47 paid finishes between 2016 and 2026.
What is Katie Moon's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the pole vault at the 2025 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 Katie Moon 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 pole vault 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 Moon won?
Eleven of 47, worth $170,000 between them. Six of her appearances came at a final, which paid $81,500.
How much did Katie Moon win at the 2025 World Championships?
$70,000, 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 Katie Moon 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.
