Madeline Heiner prize money
Madeline Heiner has been paid $11,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1535th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the women's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 4th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2016 | 3000 m steeplechase | 4th | $3,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2016 | 3000 m steeplechase | 5th | $2,500 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2015 | 3000 m steeplechase | 5th | $2,500 |

| British Athletics Grand Prix 2015 | 3000 m steeplechase | 8th | $1,000 |
| All five | Women's 3000 m steeplechase | - | $11,000 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $11,000 is five 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 Madeline Heiner won?
$11,000, which ranks 1535th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2015 and 2016.
What is Madeline Heiner's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2016 Bislett Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Madeline Heiner 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 3000 m steeplechase 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 Madeline Heiner 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.
