Christine Mboma prize money
Christine Mboma has been paid $40,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 374th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women'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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltklasse Zürich 2021 | 200 m | 1st | $30,000 |
| Allianz Memorial Van Damme 2021 | 200 m | 1st | $10,000 |
| All two | Women's 200 m | — | $40,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $40,000 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.07% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Christine Mboma won?
$40,000, which ranks 374th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2021.
What is Christine Mboma's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the 200 m at the 2021 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Christine Mboma 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 200 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 Christine Mboma won?
Two of two, worth $40,000 between them. One of her appearance came at a final, which paid $30,000.
Is this everything Christine Mboma 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.
