Maja Nilsson prize money
Maja Nilsson has been paid $2,375 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2628th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's high jump, the best of them 6th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2024 | High jump | 6th | $1,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2024 | High jump | =7th | $625 |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2022 | High jump | 7th | $750 |
| All three | Women's high jump | - | $2,375 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,375 is three 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.

2024 is the biggest of them, $1,625 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Maja Nilsson in 2023, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $2,375.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Maja Nilsson won?
$2,375, which ranks 2628th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2022 and 2024.
What is Maja Nilsson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,000, for finishing 6th in the high jump at the 2024 Doha Diamond League. 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 Maja Nilsson 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 high 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.
Is this everything Maja Nilsson 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.
