Kyra Jefferson prize money
Kyra Jefferson has been paid $9,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 862nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from six 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2023 | 400 m | 8th | $500 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2022 | 400 m | 8th | $500 |
| Doha Diamond League 2019 | 200 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Oslo Bislett Games 2019 | 200 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2019 | 200 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2018 | 200 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| All six | two disciplines | — | $9,500 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $9,500 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $6,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Kyra Jefferson in 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $9,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kyra Jefferson won?
$9,500, which ranks 862nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2018 and 2023.
What is Kyra Jefferson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the 200 m at the 2019 Doha Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Kyra Jefferson 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 Kyra Jefferson earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
