Shane Brathwaite prize money
Shane Brathwaite has been paid $1,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1780th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 110 m hurdles, and it was 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.
The payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2021 | 110 m hurdles | 5th | $1,250 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,250 is one 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 Shane Brathwaite won?
$1,250, which ranks 1780th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2021.
What is Shane Brathwaite's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,250, for finishing 5th 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 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Shane Brathwaite 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 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.
Is this everything Shane Brathwaite 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.
