Danielle Williams prize money
Danielle Williams has been paid $204,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 100th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 33 paid finishes in the women's 100 m hurdles, seven 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 33 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $204,250 is 33 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.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $86,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Danielle Williams in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $204,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Danielle Williams won?
$204,250, which ranks 100th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 33 paid finishes between 2017 and 2026.
What is Danielle Williams's biggest Diamond League payday?
$50,000, for finishing 1st in the 100 m hurdles at the 2019 AG Memorial Van Damme. 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 Danielle 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 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 Danielle Williams won?
Seven of 33, worth $110,000 between them. Six of her appearances came at a final, which paid $78,500.
How much did Danielle Williams 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 Danielle Williams 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.

For the event itself, see women's 100 m hurdles prize money. The series has paid out in 20 women's disciplines and Danielle Williams has been paid in one of them. The biggest of the rest are women's 100 m, women's 400 m and women's 800 m.

Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full final is on the women's 100 metres hurdles page.
