William Paulson prize money
William Paulson has been paid $500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2103rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's mile and men's 1500 m, and it was 8th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prefontaine Classic 2022 | Mile | 8th | $500 |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2022 | 1500 m | 11th | — |
| All two | two disciplines | — | $500 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $500 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the two starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has William Paulson won?
$500, which ranks 2103rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2022.
What is William Paulson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$500, for finishing 8th in the mile at the 2022 Prefontaine Classic. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 8th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what William Paulson 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 mile 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.
Has William Paulson 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. He is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything William Paulson 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.
