Ayomide Folorunso prize money
Ayomide Folorunso has been paid $48,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 322nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 26 paid finishes in the women's 400 m hurdles, 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 26 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $48,750 is 26 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.09% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 27 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ayomide Folorunso won?
$48,750, which ranks 322nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 26 paid finishes between 2019 and 2026.
What is Ayomide Folorunso's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 3rd in the Diamond+ 400 m hurdles at the 2025 Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Ayomide Folorunso 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 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.
Has Ayomide Folorunso ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. She is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Ayomide Folorunso earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
