Nickisha Pryce prize money
Nickisha Pryce has been paid $59,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 514th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from nine paid finishes in the women's 400 m, two of them wins.
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 nine paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $59,500 is nine separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Nickisha Pryce won?
$59,500, which ranks 514th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from nine paid finishes between 2024 and 2026.
What is Nickisha Pryce's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 1st in the Diamond+ 400 m at the 2026 Shanghai Diamond League. 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 Nickisha Pryce 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 400 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Nickisha Pryce won?
Two of nine, worth $30,000 between them. One of her appearance came at a final, which paid $7,000.
How much did Nickisha Pryce win at the 2025 World Championships?
$5,000, 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.
How much did Nickisha Pryce win at the Ultimate Championship?
$40,000, from one paid final at the 2026 championship in Budapest. World Athletics pays $150,000 for a win there, $75,000 for second and $40,000 for third, the same in all 26 individual events.
Is this everything Nickisha Pryce earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships and Ultimate Championship 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.
