Meghan Beesley prize money
Meghan Beesley has been paid $17,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1242nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from nine paid finishes in the women's 400 m hurdles, the best of them 3rd.
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.

The nine paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $17,250 is nine separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $5,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Meghan Beesley in 2014, 2017 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $17,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Meghan Beesley won?
$17,250, which ranks 1242nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from nine paid finishes between 2013 and 2021.
What is Meghan Beesley's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 400 m hurdles at the 2018 Müller Grand Prix Birmingham. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Meghan Beesley 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 400 m hurdles 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 Meghan Beesley 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.
