Cindy Sember prize money
Cindy Sember has been paid $29,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 472nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the women's 100 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.

Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting de Paris 2022 | 100 m hurdles | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Müller Grand Prix Gateshead 2021 | 100 m hurdles | 1st | $10,000 |
| Anniversary Games 2021 | 100 m hurdles | 1st | $10,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2021 | 100 m hurdles | 5th | $2,500 |
| Allianz Memorial Van Damme 2021 | 100 m hurdles | 4th | $2,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2017 | 100 m hurdles | 7th | $1,500 |
| All six | Women's 100 m hurdles | — | $29,500 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $29,500 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $24,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Cindy Sember in 2018, 2019 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $29,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Cindy Sember won?
$29,500, which ranks 472nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2017 and 2022.
What is Cindy Sember's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 100 m hurdles at the 2021 Müller Grand Prix Gateshead. 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 Cindy Sember 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 100 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 Cindy Sember won?
Two of six, worth $20,000 between them. One of her appearance came at a final, which paid $2,500.
Is this everything Cindy Sember 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.
