Richard Kilty prize money
Richard Kilty has been paid $14,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1353rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the men's 100 m and men's 200 m, the best of them 3rd.
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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bauhausgalan 2016 | 100 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Muller Anniversary Games 2016 | 100 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Bislett Games 2015 | 200 m | 3rd | $4,000 |

| ExxonMobil Bislett Games 2014 | 100 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Glasgow Grand Prix 2014 | 100 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Sainsburys Anniversary Games 2013 | 200 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All seven | two disciplines | - | $14,500 |
The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $14,500 is seven 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.
The Olympic Games
What Richard Kilty won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 100 metres relay | Bronze | - |
The bronze in the men's 4 × 100 metres relay paid nothing. Only a gold pays, so 97 of the 145 medals awarded on the athletics programme in Paris carried no money at all. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Richard Kilty won?
$14,500, which ranks 1353rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2013 and 2016.
What is Richard Kilty's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 200 m at the 2015 Bislett Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Richard Kilty 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 100 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.
Is this everything Richard Kilty earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 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.
