Adam Gemili prize money
Adam Gemili has been paid $52,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 592nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 19 paid finishes in the men's 100 m and men's 200 m, the best of them 2nd.
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 19 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $52,000 is 19 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $11,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Adam Gemili in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $52,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Adam Gemili won?
$52,000, which ranks 592nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 19 paid finishes between 2012 and 2022.
What is Adam Gemili's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 100 m at the 2019 Müller Grand Prix Birmingham. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Adam Gemili gets paid?
Entirely by where he 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 men's 100 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.
Is this everything Adam Gemili 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 him, priced off the card it published.
