Leah Nugent prize money
Leah Nugent has been paid $5,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1985th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the women's 400 m hurdles, the best of them 5th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2021 | 400 m hurdles | 5th | $1,250 |
| Bauhausgalan 2021 | 400 m hurdles | 6th | $1,000 |
| Athletissima 2021 | 400 m hurdles | 7th | $750 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2021 | 400 m hurdles | 8th | $500 |
| IAAF Diamond League Shanghai 2018 | 400 m hurdles | 6th | $2,000 |
| All five | Women's 400 m hurdles | - | $5,500 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,500 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $3,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Leah Nugent in 2019 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $5,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Leah Nugent won?
$5,500, which ranks 1985th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2018 and 2021.
What is Leah Nugent's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the 400 m hurdles at the 2018 IAAF Diamond League Shanghai. 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 Leah Nugent 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 400 m hurdles 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 Leah Nugent 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.
