Kaylin Whitney prize money
Kaylin Whitney has been paid $15,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1302nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from ten paid finishes in the women's 200 m and women's 400 m, the best of them 4th.
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 ten paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $15,750 is ten 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.

season running total
2016 is the biggest of them, $5,500 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Kaylin Whitney in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2023, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $15,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kaylin Whitney won?
$15,750, which ranks 1302nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from ten paid finishes between 2015 and 2024.
What is Kaylin Whitney's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the 200 m at the 2015 Herculis. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Kaylin Whitney 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 200 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.
Is this everything Kaylin Whitney 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.
