Lorraine Ugen prize money
Lorraine Ugen has been paid $115,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 266th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 26 paid finishes in the women's long jump, two of them wins.
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
The 26 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $115,000 is 26 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 27 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $30,500 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Lorraine Ugen in 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $115,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Lorraine Ugen won?
$115,000, which ranks 266th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 26 paid finishes between 2015 and 2022.
What is Lorraine Ugen's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the long jump at the 2017 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Lorraine Ugen 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 win is worth the same in the women'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 Lorraine Ugen won?
Two of 27, worth $20,000 between them. Four of her appearances came at a final, which paid $30,500.
Has Lorraine Ugen ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Lorraine Ugen 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.
