Puerto Rico athletics prize money
Puerto Rico has taken $469,000 out of athletics, 51st of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Javier Culson is the biggest earner on $243,500, 51.9% of the national total.
All of it belongs to seven athletes by name. Puerto Rico has never been paid a relay purse, a World Relays ladder place or a cross country team standing, which are the three things that pay a federation rather than a person.

The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Puerto Rico on $434,000, 92.5% of the national total. Two of the six have paid Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico has won nothing at the World Indoor Championships, the Ultimate Championship, the World Relays and the World Cross Country Championships.
The ATHLETES column adds up to 7 because no Puerto Rico athlete has been paid by more than one of the six. Where one has, the same person is counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total.
