Melissa Courtney-Bryant prize money
Melissa Courtney-Bryant has been paid $6,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 988th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the women's 1500 m and women's mile, the best of them 4th.
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.

| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2022 | 1500 m | 10th | — |
| All nine | two disciplines | — | $6,750 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,750 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Four 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 Melissa Courtney-Bryant won?
$6,750, which ranks 988th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2022 and 2024.
What is Melissa Courtney-Bryant's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 4th in the 1500 m at the 2024 Kamila Skolimowska Memorial. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Melissa Courtney-Bryant 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 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 Melissa Courtney-Bryant ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Four 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. She are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Melissa Courtney-Bryant 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.
