Tyus Wilson prize money
Tyus Wilson has been paid $4,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2146th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's high jump, the best of them 5th.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2026 | High jump | 5th | $2,500 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2026 | High jump | 6th | $2,000 |
| All two | Men's high jump | - | $4,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,500 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Tyus Wilson stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where he finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Tyus Wilson won?
$4,500, which ranks 2146th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2026.
What is Tyus Wilson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the Diamond+ high jump at the 2026 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 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Tyus Wilson 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 place is worth the same in the men's high jump 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 much did Tyus Wilson win at the 2025 World Championships?
$6,500, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Tyus Wilson earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships 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 him, priced off the card it published.
