Morgan Lake prize money
Morgan Lake has been paid $48,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 324th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 20 paid finishes in the women's high jump, one of them a win.
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
The 20 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $48,250 is 20 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.09% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 21 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $26,750 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Morgan Lake in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $48,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Morgan Lake won?
$48,250, which ranks 324th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 20 paid finishes between 2019 and 2026.
What is Morgan Lake's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the high jump at the 2025 London Athletics Meet. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Morgan Lake 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 win is worth the same in the women's high jump 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Morgan Lake won?
One of 21, worth $10,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $11,000.
Has Morgan Lake ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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 is in the result table on this site either way.
How much did Morgan Lake win at the 2025 World Championships?
$5,500, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Morgan Lake earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
