Xavier Carter prize money
Xavier Carter has been paid $17,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1238th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the men's 200 m, the best of them 3rd.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Prefontaine Classic 2011 | 200 m | 5th | $2,500 |

| Weltklasse Zürich 2010 | 200 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| All six | Men's 200 m | - | $17,500 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $17,500 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% 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 Xavier Carter won?
$17,500, which ranks 1238th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2010 and 2011.
What is Xavier Carter's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 200 m at the 2010 Athletissima. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Xavier Carter 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 200 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.
Is this everything Xavier Carter 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.
