Maggie Malone prize money
Maggie Malone has been paid $6,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1007th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's javelin throw, 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond League Shanghai 2024 | Javelin throw | 4th | $2,000 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2023 | Javelin throw | 4th | $4,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2023 | Javelin throw | 8th | $500 |
| All three | Women's javelin throw | — | $6,500 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,500 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Maggie Malone won?
$6,500, which ranks 1007th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2023 and 2024.
What is Maggie Malone's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 4th in the javelin throw at the 2023 Prefontaine Classic. 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 Maggie Malone 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 javelin throw 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 Maggie Malone 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.
