Kaylee Mitchell prize money
Kaylee Mitchell has been paid $1,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 3014th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 8th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shanghai Diamond League 2026 | 3000 m steeplechase | 12th | - |
| Xiamen Diamond League 2026 | 3000 m steeplechase | 10th | - |
| Prefontaine Classic 2025 | 3000 m steeplechase | 8th | $1,000 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2024 | 3000 m steeplechase | 8th | $500 |
| All four | Women's 3000 m steeplechase | - | $1,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,500 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the four starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Kaylee Mitchell stood in one 2025 World Championships final in Tokyo and finished outside the money. The championships pay eight places, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th, and nothing at all below that. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.

2024 to 2026, in the order it was won

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $1,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Kaylee Mitchell in 2026, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $1,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kaylee Mitchell won?
$1,500, which ranks 3014th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2024 and 2026.
What is Kaylee Mitchell's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,000, for finishing 8th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2025 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 8th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Kaylee Mitchell 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 3000 m steeplechase 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 Kaylee Mitchell ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Kaylee Mitchell 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.
