| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Müller Anniversary Games 2019 | 400 m | 1st | $10,000 |
| Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 2019 | 400 m | 1st | $10,000 |

| All four | Men's 400 m | - | $40,000 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $40,000 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% 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 Akeem Bloomfield won?
$40,000, which ranks 739th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2018 and 2019.
What is Akeem Bloomfield's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m at the 2019 Müller Anniversary Games. 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 Akeem Bloomfield 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 win is worth the same in the men's 400 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 Akeem Bloomfield won?
Three of four, worth $30,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $10,000.
Is this everything Akeem Bloomfield 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.
