| Herculis EBS 2021 | Long jump | 4th | $2,000 |
| All nine | Men's long jump | — | $40,250 |
The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $40,250 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.07% 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Marquis Dendy won?
$40,250, which ranks 369th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2021 and 2025.
What is Marquis Dendy's biggest Diamond League payday?
$12,000, for finishing 2nd in the long jump at the 2022 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Marquis Dendy gets paid?
Entirely by where he 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 men'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 Marquis Dendy won?
One of nine, worth $10,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $12,000.
Has Marquis Dendy 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. He is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Marquis Dendy 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 him, priced off the card it published.
