Abbey Caldwell prize money
Abbey Caldwell has been paid $35,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 812th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from ten paid finishes in the women's 1500 m, women's 1000 m and women's 800 m, one of them a win.
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.

The ten paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $35,000 is ten separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Four of the fourteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

What Abbey Caldwell did in Budapest, 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 1500 metres | 6th | 3:58.64 | - |
Abbey Caldwell stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where she finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.

season running total
2026 is the biggest of them, $19,500 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Abbey Caldwell in 2024, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $35,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Abbey Caldwell won?
$35,000, which ranks 812th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from ten paid finishes between 2023 and 2026.
What is Abbey Caldwell's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 1500 m at the 2026 Xiamen Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Abbey Caldwell gets paid?
Entirely by where she 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 women's 1500 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Abbey Caldwell won?
One of fourteen, worth $10,000 between them. One of her appearance came at a final, which paid $1,500.
Has Abbey Caldwell ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Four times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Abbey Caldwell 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 her, priced off the card it published.
