Rachel McCoy prize money
Rachel McCoy has been paid $1,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1620th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's high jump, the best of them 5th.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2022 | High jump | 8th | $500 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2021 | High jump | 5th | $1,250 |
| All two | Women's high jump | — | $1,750 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,750 is two 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Rachel McCoy won?
$1,750, which ranks 1620th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2021 and 2022.
What is Rachel McCoy's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,250, for finishing 5th in the high jump at the 2021 Prefontaine Classic. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Rachel McCoy 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 Rachel McCoy 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.
