Stephenie Ann McPherson prize money
Stephenie Ann McPherson has been paid $71,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 210th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 19 paid finishes in the women's 400 m, two 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 19 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $71,250 is 19 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% 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 Stephenie Ann McPherson won?
$71,250, which ranks 210th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 19 paid finishes between 2018 and 2024.
What is Stephenie Ann McPherson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m at the 2021 Anniversary Games. 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 Stephenie Ann McPherson 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 400 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 Stephenie Ann McPherson won?
Two of 19, worth $20,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $9,000.
Is this everything Stephenie Ann McPherson 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 her, priced off the card it published.
