Women's high jump prize money
The Diamond League has paid $3,591,000 in the women's high jump, to 102 athletes across 112 runnings of it, from 2010 to 2026. Mariya Lasitskene has taken more of it than anyone, $440,500.
The series pays by finishing place and by nothing else, so a win here is worth what a win in any other discipline is worth: $10,000 at a 2026 series meeting, eight places paid, and nothing for ninth. Nine of the 112 runnings were at the series final, which pays on its own ladder: $30,000 for the win at the 2026 final. Four of the 112 runnings were Diamond+, which pays double.

Every Diamond League women's high jump
Who won it, what the win paid and what the field took
What the women's high jump paid each season
season running total
The line is the running total. A season's figure is the rate multiplied by how many meetings put the discipline on, so the columns move with the programme rather than with who turned up: 2023 ran it eight times and 2026 six times. Two of the 112 runnings were tied at the top: athletes level for a place take the places between them and split the money for all of them, so a three-way tie for the win is first, second and third added up and divided by three.

One column per ladder, and none of them is specific to this discipline: the women's high jump is paid on the same card as the 100 m and the shot put at the same meeting. There is no appearance money in any of it, nothing for a record, and nothing at all for ninth place. The Diamond+ columns are the four of 112 runnings where the series doubled the discipline's rate for the day.
Frequently asked questions
How much prize money does the Diamond League pay in the women's high jump?
$3,591,000 across 112 runnings of it, to 102 athletes from 39 countries. That is 3.2% of everything the series has paid, and the 15th biggest of the 41 disciplines on this site.
What does a win in the women's high jump pay?
$10,000, and double that at a meeting where it is a Diamond+ discipline. It is the same figure in every discipline on a programme, so a win here pays exactly what a win in the 100 m pays. Nine of the 112 runnings were at the series final, which pays on its own ladder: $30,000 for the win at the 2026 final.
Who has earned the most in the women's high jump?
Mariya Lasitskene, on $440,500 from 36 paid finishes, 26 of them wins. 70 of the 102 athletes the discipline has paid were paid in it more than once.
Who has won the most Diamond League women's high jump titles?
Mariya Lasitskene, on 26 wins. 23 different athletes have won a Diamond League women's high jump across the 112 runnings on this site.
How often does the Diamond League run the women's high jump?
112 times across sixteen seasons, from 2010 to 2026, on the programmes of 19 different meetings. AG Memorial Van Damme and Bauhausgalan have each run it twelve times, more often than anywhere else. The series rotates its programme, so no discipline is on every card.
How far down the field does the women's high jump pay?
Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however good the mark was. 880 payments have gone to 102 athletes in this discipline, and 70 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
