Matthew Ramsden prize money
Matthew Ramsden has been paid $4,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2124th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's 1500 m, men's 3000 m and men's 5000 m, the best of them 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.

| All twelve | four disciplines | - | $4,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,500 is four 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. Eight of the twelve starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
The World Cross Country Championships
What Matthew Ramsden ran on the grass
| RACE | PLACE | MARK | EARNED | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Senior men's race | 53rd | 31:15 | - | - |
Matthew Ramsden has run one race here and was paid nothing in his own name. Only the first six across the line are, $30,000 for the win down to $3,000 for 6th, and there is no appearance money underneath it. No team standing he ran in finished inside the first six, which is as far as that ladder reaches: $20,000 to the winning country down to $4,000 for 6th, and every dollar of it a federation's. The cross country page holds all 10 races across two championships and the $620,000 they paid out.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $2,500 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Matthew Ramsden in 2019, 2020, 2023 and 2024, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $4,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Matthew Ramsden won?
$4,500, which ranks 2124th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2019 and 2024.
What is Matthew Ramsden's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,250, for finishing 5th in the 1500 m at the 2021 Müller Grand Prix Gateshead. 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 Ramsden 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 1500 m 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 Ramsden ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Eight 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Matthew Ramsden earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Cross Country Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Matthew Ramsden is Marc Minichello on $4,500, and one below Mauricio Ortega on $4,500. Matthew Ramsden is one of 87 Australia athletes athletics has paid, and Australia athletics prize money adds them up to $3,553,417 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's 1500 m prize money, men's 3000 m prize money, men's 5000 m prize money and men's mile prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Matthew Ramsden has been paid in four of them. The biggest of the rest are men's 100 m, men's pole vault and men's 800 m. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Xiamen Diamond League has its own page across every edition of it. Cross country prize money is the Belgrade 2024 and Tallahassee 2026 championships, $620,000 put up across 10 races, half of it a runner's and half of it a federation's, and the race is on the senior men's race page.
