Shericka Jackson prize money
Shericka Jackson has been paid $429,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 10th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 53 paid finishes in the women's 200 m, women's 100 m and women's 400 m, 19 of them wins.
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 she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 53 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $429,250 is 53 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.4% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|

The 2025 World Championships paid Shericka Jackson $38,000 for two finishes in Tokyo, against $429,250 from 53 Diamond League starts between 2016 and 2026. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Shericka Jackson ran on
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 4 × 100 metres relay | 3rd | 42.33 | $10,000 |
The World Relays have paid $10,000 for the one team Shericka Jackson ran on in Guangzhou 2025, and all of it went to Jamaica rather than to the four who ran. The $429,250 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid her. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team she ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. She ran alongside Natasha Morrison, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Tina Clayton, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $119,000 from ten starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Shericka Jackson in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $429,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Shericka Jackson won?
$429,250, which ranks 10th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 53 paid finishes between 2016 and 2026.
What is Shericka Jackson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the 100 m at the 2023 Prefontaine Classic. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Shericka Jackson gets paid?
Entirely by where she 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 women's 200 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 Shericka Jackson won?
19 of 53, worth $280,000 between them. Seven of her appearances came at a final, which paid $125,000.
How much did Shericka Jackson win at the 2025 World Championships?
$38,000, from two paid finals in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
What did Shericka Jackson's World Relays teams win?
$10,000, across one paid final in Guangzhou 2025. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Shericka Jackson or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Shericka Jackson earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships and World Relays 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 her, priced off the card it published.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Shericka Jackson is Mariya Lasitskene on $440,500, and one below Karsten Warholm on $428,500. Shericka Jackson is one of 158 Jamaica athletes athletics has paid, and Jamaica athletics prize money adds them up to $8,413,000 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see women's 200 m prize money, women's 100 m prize money and women's 400 m prize money. The series has paid out in 20 women's disciplines and Shericka Jackson has been paid in three of them. The biggest of the rest are women's 100 m hurdles, women's 800 m and women's 400 m hurdles. Every meeting she has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Shanghai Diamond League has its own page across every edition of it. Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full finals are on the women's 200 metres and women's 100 metres pages. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relay is on the women's 4 × 100 metres relay page.
