Shane Brathwaite prize money
Shane Brathwaite has been paid $18,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1191st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the men's 110 m hurdles, 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2021 | 110 m hurdles | 5th | $1,250 |
| Bauhausgalan 2017 | 110 m hurdles | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Müller Anniversary Games 2017 | 110 m hurdles | 3rd | $4,000 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2017 | 110 m hurdles | 8th | $2,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2016 | 110 m hurdles | 4th | $3,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2015 | 110 m hurdles | 4th | $3,000 |
| Adidas Grand Prix 2015 | 110 m hurdles | 7th | $1,500 |
| All seven | Men's 110 m hurdles | - | $18,750 |
The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $18,750 is seven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $10,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Shane Brathwaite in 2018, 2019 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $18,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Shane Brathwaite won?
$18,750, which ranks 1191st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2015 and 2021.
What is Shane Brathwaite's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 110 m hurdles at the 2017 Bauhausgalan. 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 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 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.
