Steffin McCarter prize money
Steffin McCarter has been paid $30,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 897th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's long jump, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2023 | Long jump | 4th | $2,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2022 | Long jump | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Herculis 2022 | Long jump | 10th | - |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2021 | Long jump | 2nd | $12,000 |
| Allianz Memorial Van Damme 2021 | Long jump | 1st | $10,000 |
| All five | Men's long jump | - | $30,000 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $30,000 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the five starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Steffin McCarter won?
$30,000, which ranks 897th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2021 and 2023.
What is Steffin McCarter's biggest Diamond League payday?
$12,000, for finishing 2nd in the long jump at the 2021 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Steffin McCarter 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 long jump 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 Steffin McCarter won?
One of five, worth $10,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $12,000.
Has Steffin McCarter ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Steffin McCarter 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.
