Tia Clayton prize money
Tia Clayton has been paid $48,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 325th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the women's 100 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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2026 | 100 m | 9th | — |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2025 | 100 m | 2nd | $20,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2025 | 100 m | 1st | $10,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2025 | 100 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2024 | 100 m | 1st | $10,000 |
| Athletissima 2024 | 100 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2024 | 100 m | 6th | $1,000 |
| All seven | Women's 100 m | — | $48,250 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $48,250 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.09% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the seven starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
The World Championships
What Tia Clayton did in Tokyo, 2025
Tia Clayton went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. She ran on the Jamaica team that finished 2nd in the women's 4 × 100 metres relay, $40,000 to the federation rather than to any one of the four. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Tia Clayton ran on
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed 4 × 100 metres relay | 1st | 39.62 | $40,000 |
The World Relays have paid $40,000 for the one team Tia Clayton ran on in Gaborone 2026, and all of it went to Jamaica rather than to the four who ran. The $48,250 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid her. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. She was on the winning team once, which pays $40,000 against $20,000 for second. She ran alongside Ackeem Blake and Tina Clayton, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.

2024 to 2026, in the order it was won

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $36,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Tia Clayton in 2026, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $48,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Tia Clayton won?
$48,250, which ranks 325th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2024 and 2026.
What is Tia Clayton's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the Diamond+ 100 m at the 2025 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Tia Clayton 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 100 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 Tia Clayton won?
Two of seven, worth $20,000 between them. One of her appearance came at a final, which paid $20,000.
Has Tia Clayton ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. She is in the result table on this site either way.
What did Tia Clayton's World Relays teams win?
$40,000, across one paid final in Gaborone 2026. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Tia Clayton or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Tia Clayton earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Relays money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 2,112 athletes across the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Tia Clayton is Morgan Lake on $48,250, and one below Khallifah Rosser on $48,000. Tia Clayton is one of 93 Jamaica athletes athletics has paid, and Jamaica athletics prize money adds them up to $4,659,750 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see women's 100 m prize money. The series has paid out in 20 women's disciplines and Tia Clayton has been paid in one of them. The biggest of the rest are women's 100 m hurdles, women's 800 m and women's 400 m. Every meeting she has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Kamila Skolimowska Memorial has its own page across every edition of it. Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full final is on the women's 4 × 100 metres relay page. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relay is on the mixed 4 × 100 metres relay page.
