LaQuan Nairn prize money
LaQuan Nairn has been paid $12,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1476th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's long jump, one of them a win.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2024 | Long jump | 8th | $500 |
| Diamond League Shanghai 2024 | Long jump | 10th | - |
| Athletissima 2023 | Long jump | 1st | $10,000 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2023 | Long jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| Bislett Games 2022 | Long jump | 10th | - |
| All five | Men's long jump | - | $12,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $12,000 is three 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. Two of the five starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $11,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid LaQuan Nairn in 2022, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $12,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has LaQuan Nairn won?
$12,000, which ranks 1476th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2022 and 2024.
What is LaQuan Nairn's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the long jump at the 2023 Athletissima. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what LaQuan Nairn 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 win is worth the same in the men's long jump 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has LaQuan Nairn won?
One of five, worth $10,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $1,500.
Has LaQuan Nairn 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.
Is this everything LaQuan Nairn 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 him, priced off the card it published.
