The fourteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $51,500 is fourteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% 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 Tia Brooks-Wannemacher won?
$51,500, which ranks 602nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fourteen paid finishes between 2013 and 2016.
What is Tia Brooks-Wannemacher's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the shot put at the 2016 Qatar Athletic Super 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 Tia Brooks-Wannemacher 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 shot put 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 Tia Brooks-Wannemacher won?
Two of fourteen, worth $20,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Tia Brooks-Wannemacher 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.
