Lauryn Williams prize money
Lauryn Williams has been paid $6,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1856th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the women's 200 m and women's 100 m, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2013 | 200 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Athletissima 2013 | 200 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Herculis 2012 | 100 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2011 | 100 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| All four | two disciplines | - | $6,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,500 is four 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Lauryn Williams won?
$6,500, which ranks 1856th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2011 and 2013.
What is Lauryn Williams's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the 200 m at the 2013 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. 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 Lauryn Williams 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 Lauryn Williams 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.
