Ayomide Folorunso prize money
Ayomide Folorunso has been paid $50,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 614th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 27 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 27 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $50,250 is 27 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. One of the 28 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $22,000 from seven starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Ayomide Folorunso in 2017, 2018 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $50,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ayomide Folorunso won?
$50,250, which ranks 614th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 27 paid finishes between 2016 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. That start 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 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.
