Kyree King prize money
Kyree King has been paid $49,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 625th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 21 paid finishes in the men's 200 m and men's 100 m, the best of them 2nd.
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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 21 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $49,750 is 21 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the 23 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
The World Athletics Relays
What Kyree King ran on, 2025 and 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 100 metres relay | 2nd | 37.66 | $20,000 |
| Mixed 4 × 100 metres relay | 3rd | 40.33 | $10,000 |
The World Relays have paid $30,000 for the two teams Kyree King ran on across Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026, and all of it went to the United States rather than to the four who ran. The $49,750 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid him. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team he ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. He ran alongside Courtney Lindsey, Kenny Bednarek and Brandon Hicklin, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kyree King won?
$49,750, which ranks 625th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 21 paid finishes between 2022 and 2026.
What is Kyree King's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 100 m at the 2024 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Kyree King gets paid?
Entirely by where he 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 men'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.
Has Kyree King 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.
What did Kyree King's World Relays teams win?
$30,000, across two paid finals at Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Kyree King or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Kyree King earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Relays money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid him, priced off the card it published.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Kyree King is Joseph Fahnbulleh on $49,750, and one below Rachid Muratake on $49,750. Kyree King is one of 659 United States athletes athletics has paid, and United States athletics prize money adds them up to $29,436,125 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's 200 m prize money and men's 100 m prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Kyree King has been paid in two of them. The biggest of the rest are men's pole vault, men's 800 m and men's 110 m hurdles. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Doha Diamond League has its own page across every edition of it. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relays are on the men's 4 × 100 metres relay and mixed 4 × 100 metres relay pages.
