Cassandra Tate prize money
Cassandra Tate has been paid $80,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 390th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 22 paid finishes in the women's 400 m hurdles, 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 22 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $80,500 is 22 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.07% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 23 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2016 is the biggest of them, $40,500 from seven starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Cassandra Tate in 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2024, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $80,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Cassandra Tate won?
$80,500, which ranks 390th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 22 paid finishes between 2014 and 2025.
What is Cassandra Tate's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m hurdles at the 2016 British Athletics 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 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Cassandra Tate 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 Cassandra Tate won?
Two of 23, worth $20,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Has Cassandra Tate 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 Cassandra Tate 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.
