Charlie Dobson prize money
Charlie Dobson has been paid $56,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 545th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from ten paid finishes in the men's 400 m and men's 200 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 ten paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $56,250 is ten 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.
The World Championships
What Charlie Dobson did in Tokyo, 2025
Charlie Dobson went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. He ran on the Great Britain team that finished 6th in the men's 4 × 400 metres relay, $8,000 to the federation rather than to any one of the four. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The Olympic Games
What Charlie Dobson won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 400 metres relay | Bronze | - |
The bronze in the men's 4 × 400 metres relay paid nothing. Only a gold pays, so 97 of the 145 medals awarded on the athletics programme in Paris carried no money at all. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

season running total
2024 is the biggest of them, $34,250 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Charlie Dobson in 2023, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $56,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Charlie Dobson won?
$56,250, which ranks 545th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from ten paid finishes between 2022 and 2026.
What is Charlie Dobson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m at the 2024 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Charlie Dobson gets paid?
Entirely by where he 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 men's 400 m 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 Charlie Dobson won?
Two of ten, worth $40,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $30,000.
Is this everything Charlie Dobson 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 him, priced off the card it published.
