Raymond Richards prize money
Raymond Richards has been paid $8,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1688th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's high jump, the best of them 4th.
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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2026 | High jump | 4th | $3,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2026 | High jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| Herculis EBS 2025 | High jump | 5th | $2,500 |
| Doha Diamond League 2025 | High jump | =6th | $1,500 |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2025 | High jump | 9th | - |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2025 | High jump | 11th | - |
| All six | Men's high jump | - | $8,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $8,500 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the six starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Raymond Richards won?
$8,500, which ranks 1688th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2025 and 2026.
What is Raymond Richards's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the Diamond+ high jump at the 2026 Doha 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 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Raymond Richards 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 place is worth the same in the men'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.
Has Raymond Richards ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
How much has Raymond Richards won at the World Indoor Championships?
$19,000, from two paid finals across Toruń 2026 and Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Raymond Richards earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Indoor 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 him, priced off the card it published.
