Ashley Spencer prize money
Ashley Spencer has been paid $57,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 534th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from twelve paid finishes in the women's 400 m hurdles and women's 400 m, two of them wins.
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 twelve paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $57,500 is twelve 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ashley Spencer won?
$57,500, which ranks 534th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from twelve paid finishes between 2016 and 2019.
What is Ashley Spencer's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m hurdles at the 2017 Prefontaine Classic. 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 Ashley Spencer 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 400 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 Ashley Spencer won?
Two of twelve, worth $20,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $12,000.
Is this everything Ashley Spencer 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.
