Christania Williams prize money
Christania Williams has been paid $12,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1449th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the women's 100 m, the best of them 3rd.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2017 | 100 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Meeting de Paris 2017 | 100 m | 6th | $2,000 |

| Athletissima 2016 | 100 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| All six | Women's 100 m | - | $12,500 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $12,500 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% 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 Christania Williams won?
$12,500, which ranks 1449th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2016 and 2017.
What is Christania Williams's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 100 m at the 2016 Memorial Van Damme. 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 Christania Williams 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 100 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.
Is this everything Christania Williams 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.
