Lorraine Ugen prize money
Lorraine Ugen has been paid $29,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 480th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the women'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.

Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bauhausgalan 2022 | Long jump | 1st | $10,000 |
| Birmingham Diamond League 2022 | Long jump | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2022 | Long jump | 7th | $1,500 |

| Doha Diamond League 2019 | Long jump | 4th | $3,000 |
| Müller Anniversary Games 2019 | Long jump | 5th | $2,500 |
| Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 2019 | Long jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2019 | Long jump | 12th | — |
| Bislett Games 2017 | Long jump | 6th | $2,000 |
| All nine | Women's long jump | — | $29,000 |
The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $29,000 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the nine starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2022 is the biggest of them, $15,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Lorraine Ugen in 2018, 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $29,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Lorraine Ugen won?
$29,000, which ranks 480th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2017 and 2022.
What is Lorraine Ugen's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the long jump at the 2022 Bauhausgalan. 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 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?
One of nine, worth $10,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $6,500.
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. She 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 104 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.
