Cleopatra Borel prize money
Cleopatra Borel has been paid $94,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 339th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 32 paid finishes in the women's shot put, the best of them 2nd.
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 32 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $94,500 is 32 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.08% 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 Cleopatra Borel won?
$94,500, which ranks 339th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 32 paid finishes between 2010 and 2017.
What is Cleopatra Borel's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the shot put at the 2015 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 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Cleopatra Borel 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 shot put 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 Cleopatra Borel 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.
