Mike Rodgers prize money
Mike Rodgers has been paid $24,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 538th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eleven paid finishes in the men's 100 m, 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 eleven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $24,000 is eleven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $17,500 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Mike Rodgers in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $24,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Mike Rodgers won?
$24,000, which ranks 538th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eleven paid finishes between 2018 and 2022.
What is Mike Rodgers's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 100 m at the 2019 Oslo Bislett Games. 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 Mike Rodgers 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 100 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.
Is this everything Mike Rodgers 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 him, priced off the card it published.
