Nikki Manson prize money
Nikki Manson has been paid $875 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1945th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the women's high jump, and it was 6th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Müller Grand Prix Gateshead 2021 | High jump | =6th | $875 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $875 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

$875, which ranks 1945th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2021.
What is Nikki Manson's biggest Diamond League payday?

How does the Diamond League decide what Nikki Manson 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 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.
Is this everything Nikki Manson 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 her, priced off the card it published.
