The thirteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $23,500 is thirteen 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ásdís Hjálmsdóttir won?
$23,500, which ranks 1038th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from thirteen paid finishes between 2010 and 2017.
What is Ásdís Hjálmsdóttir's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the javelin throw at the 2010 British Grand Prix. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Ásdís Hjálmsdóttir 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 javelin throw 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 Ásdís Hjálmsdóttir 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.
