The thirteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $108,000 is thirteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.10% 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 Ackera Nugent won?
$108,000, which ranks 287th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from thirteen paid finishes between 2024 and 2026.
What is Ackera Nugent's biggest Diamond League payday?
$50,000, for finishing 1st in the Diamond+ 100 m hurdles at the 2025 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Ackera Nugent 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 100 m hurdles 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 Ackera Nugent won?
Three of thirteen, worth $70,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $57,000.
How much has Ackera Nugent won at the World Indoor Championships?
$10,000, from one paid final in Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Ackera Nugent earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Indoor 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.
