Matthew Hughes prize money
Matthew Hughes has been paid $1,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1764th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 3000 m steeplechase, and it was 5th.
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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting de Paris 2021 | 3000 m steeplechase | 5th | $1,250 |
| Müller Grand Prix Gateshead 2021 | 3000 m steeplechase | 11th | — |
| Herculis 2019 | 3000 m steeplechase | 12th | — |
| All three | Men's 3000 m steeplechase | — | $1,250 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,250 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the three starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
Season by season
2019 to 2021, in the order it was won
season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $1,250 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Matthew Hughes in 2019 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $1,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Matthew Hughes won?
$1,250, which ranks 1764th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish between 2019 and 2021.
What is Matthew Hughes's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,250, for finishing 5th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2021 Meeting de Paris. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Matthew Hughes 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 place is worth the same in the men'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.
Has Matthew Hughes ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. 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 are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Matthew Hughes 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.
