Will Claye prize money
Will Claye has been paid $164,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 152nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 27 paid finishes in the men's triple jump and men's long jump, four 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 27 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $164,750 is 27 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% 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 Will Claye won?
$164,750, which ranks 152nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 27 paid finishes between 2011 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?
Four of 27, worth $40,000 between them. Two of his appearances came at a final, which paid $40,000.
Is this everything Will Claye 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 him, priced off the card it published.
