Stewart McSweyn prize money
Stewart McSweyn has been paid $71,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 208th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 21 paid finishes in the men's 1500 m, men's mile and men's 3000 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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 21 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $71,500 is 21 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. Twelve of the 33 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $54,000 from ten starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Stewart McSweyn in 2020 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $71,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Stewart McSweyn won?
$71,500, which ranks 208th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 21 paid finishes between 2019 and 2025.
What is Stewart McSweyn's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the mile at the 2021 Bislett 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 Stewart McSweyn 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 1500 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 Stewart McSweyn won?
Two of 33, worth $20,000 between them. Three of his appearances came at a final, which paid $10,500.
Has Stewart McSweyn ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Twelve times. 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. He are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Stewart McSweyn 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 him, priced off the card it published.
