Kristen Brown prize money
Kristen Brown has been paid $3,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2346th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's pole vault, the best of them 6th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2017 | Pole vault | =7th | $1,250 |
| Muller Anniversary Games 2016 | Pole vault | 6th | $2,000 |
| All two | Women's pole vault | - | $3,250 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,250 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kristen Brown won?
$3,250, which ranks 2346th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2016 and 2017.
What is Kristen Brown's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the pole vault at the 2016 Muller Anniversary Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Kristen Brown 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 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.
Is this everything Kristen Brown 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.
