Molly Huddle prize money
Molly Huddle has been paid $16,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1269th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the women's 5000 m and women's 3000 m, the best of them 2nd.
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.

Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sainsburys Anniversary Games 2015 | 5000 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Herculis 2014 | 5000 m | 6th | $2,000 |

| Sainsburys Anniversary Games 2013 | 3000 m | 3rd | $4,000 |

| Meeting Areva 2010 | 5000 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| All six | two disciplines | - | $16,500 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $16,500 is six 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.

season running total
2013 is the biggest of them, $6,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Molly Huddle in 2011 and 2012, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $16,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Molly Huddle won?
$16,500, which ranks 1269th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2010 and 2015.
What is Molly Huddle's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 5000 m at the 2015 Sainsburys Anniversary Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Molly Huddle 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 5000 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 Molly Huddle 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.
