Steven Gardiner prize money
Steven Gardiner has been paid $105,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 298th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from fifteen paid finishes in the men's 400 m and men's 200 m, nine 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.

The fifteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $105,500 is fifteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.09% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Steven Gardiner won?
$105,500, which ranks 298th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fifteen paid finishes between 2015 and 2024.
What is Steven Gardiner's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m at the 2024 Doha Diamond League. 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 Steven Gardiner 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 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 Steven Gardiner won?
Nine of fifteen, worth $90,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Steven Gardiner 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.
