Kristin Pudenz prize money
Kristin Pudenz has been paid $54,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 571st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 20 paid finishes in the women's discus throw, the best of them 3rd.
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 20 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $54,500 is 20 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $17,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Kristin Pudenz in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $54,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kristin Pudenz won?
$54,500, which ranks 571st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 20 paid finishes between 2019 and 2025.
What is Kristin Pudenz's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 3rd in the discus throw at the 2019 AG Memorial Van Damme. 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 Kristin Pudenz 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 discus throw 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 Kristin Pudenz 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.
