Dalilah Muhammad prize money
Dalilah Muhammad has been paid $270,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 61st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 34 paid finishes in the women's 400 m hurdles, ten 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
The 34 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $270,500 is 34 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 35 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Dalilah Muhammad stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where she finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.

season running total
2018 is the biggest of them, $83,000 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Dalilah Muhammad in 2015, 2020 and 2024, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $270,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Dalilah Muhammad won?
$270,500, which ranks 61st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 34 paid finishes between 2013 and 2026.
What is Dalilah Muhammad's biggest Diamond League payday?
$50,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m hurdles at the 2018 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 Dalilah Muhammad 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 400 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 Dalilah Muhammad won?
Ten of 35, worth $180,000 between them. Five of her appearances came at a final, which paid $115,500.
Has Dalilah Muhammad ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
How much did Dalilah Muhammad win at the 2025 World Championships?
$6,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Dalilah Muhammad earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
