Adelaide Aquilla prize money
Adelaide Aquilla has been paid $4,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2087th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the women's shot put, the best of them 5th.
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.

| Meeting de Paris 2023 | Shot put | 11th | - |
| All eight | Women's shot put | - | $4,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,500 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Four of the eight starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $2,250 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Adelaide Aquilla in 2025 and 2026, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $4,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Adelaide Aquilla won?
$4,500, which ranks 2087th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2023 and 2026.
What is Adelaide Aquilla's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,250, for finishing 5th in the shot put at the 2024 Diamond League Shanghai. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Adelaide Aquilla 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 shot put 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 Adelaide Aquilla 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 Adelaide Aquilla 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.
