Stephanie Brown-Trafton prize money
Stephanie Brown-Trafton has been paid $41,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 722nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from thirteen paid finishes in the women's discus throw, 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.

The thirteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $41,500 is thirteen 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
2011 is the biggest of them, $22,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Stephanie Brown-Trafton in 2013 and 2014, so those columns stand 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 Stephanie Brown-Trafton won?
$41,500, which ranks 722nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from thirteen paid finishes between 2010 and 2015.
What is Stephanie Brown-Trafton's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the discus throw at the 2011 Adidas Grand Prix. 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 Stephanie Brown-Trafton 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 discus throw 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 Stephanie Brown-Trafton won?
One of thirteen, worth $10,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Stephanie Brown-Trafton 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 her, priced off the card it published.
