Melissa Courtney-Bryant prize money
Melissa Courtney-Bryant has been paid $11,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1520th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the women's 1500 m, women's 3000 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.

The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $11,250 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Five of the thirteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $4,750 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Melissa Courtney-Bryant in 2020, 2021 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $11,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Melissa Courtney-Bryant won?
$11,250, which ranks 1520th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2017 and 2024.
What is Melissa Courtney-Bryant's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the 3000 m 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 5th 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?
Five 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 Melissa Courtney-Bryant 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.
