Will Claye prize money
Will Claye has been paid $46,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 336th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the men's triple jump and men's long jump, one of them a win.
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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Herculis EBS 2023 | Triple jump | 7th | $750 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2021 | Triple jump | 4th | $2,000 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2019 | Triple jump | 2nd | $20,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2019 | Triple jump | 1st | $10,000 |
| Herculis 2019 | Triple jump | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Athletissima 2019 | Long jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| Meeting de Paris 2017 | Triple jump | 2nd | $6,000 |
| All seven | two disciplines | — | $46,250 |
The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $46,250 is seven 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.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $37,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Will Claye in 2018, 2020 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $46,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Will Claye won?
$46,250, which ranks 336th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2017 and 2023.
What is Will Claye's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the triple jump at the 2019 AG Memorial Van Damme. 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 Will Claye 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 triple 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 many Diamond League meetings has Will Claye won?
One of seven, worth $10,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $20,000.
Is this everything Will Claye 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.
