Ackelia Smith prize money
Ackelia Smith has been paid $26,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 970th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from twelve paid finishes in the women's triple jump and women's long jump, 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.

| All thirteen | two disciplines | - | $26,250 |
The twelve paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $26,250 is twelve 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. One of the thirteen 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 Ackelia Smith won?
$26,250, which ranks 970th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from twelve paid finishes between 2023 and 2026.
What is Ackelia Smith's biggest Diamond League payday?
$7,000, for finishing 3rd in the triple jump at the 2024 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Ackelia Smith 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 place is worth the same in the women's triple jump 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 Ackelia Smith 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
How much did Ackelia Smith win at the 2025 World Championships?
$5,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Ackelia Smith earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
