Omar McLeod prize money
Omar McLeod has been paid $41,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 365th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the men's 110 m hurdles, 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.

| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2019 | 110 m hurdles | 5th | $2,500 |
| Meeting de Paris 2017 | 110 m hurdles | 7th | $1,500 |
| All eight | Men's 110 m hurdles | — | $41,000 |
The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $41,000 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.08% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $16,500 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Omar McLeod in 2018, 2020, 2023 and 2024, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $41,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Omar McLeod won?
$41,000, which ranks 365th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2017 and 2025.
What is Omar McLeod's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 110 m hurdles at the 2021 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. 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 Omar McLeod 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 win is worth the same in the men's 110 m hurdles 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 Omar McLeod won?
Two of eight, worth $20,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Omar McLeod 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.
