Melissa Boekelman prize money
Melissa Boekelman has been paid $2,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1552nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's shot put, the best of them 8th.
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 2017 | Shot put | 8th | $1,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2017 | Shot put | 8th | $1,000 |
| All two | Women's shot put | — | $2,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,000 is two 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Melissa Boekelman won?
$2,000, which ranks 1552nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2017.
What is Melissa Boekelman's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,000, for finishing 8th in the shot put at the 2017 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 8th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Melissa Boekelman 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 shot put 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 Melissa Boekelman 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 her, priced off the card it published.
