Ryan Bailey prize money
Ryan Bailey has been paid $41,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 721st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from ten paid finishes in the men's 100 m and men's 200 m, one of them a win.
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.

| Herculis 2010 | 200 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| All ten | two disciplines | - | $41,500 |
The ten paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $41,500 is ten separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2012 is the biggest of them, $20,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Ryan Bailey in 2011, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $41,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ryan Bailey won?
$41,500, which ranks 721st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from ten paid finishes between 2010 and 2014.
What is Ryan Bailey's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 100 m at the 2012 DN Galan. 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 Ryan Bailey 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 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Ryan Bailey won?
One of ten, worth $10,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Ryan Bailey 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.
