Ditaji Kambundji prize money
Ditaji Kambundji has been paid $62,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 495th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 17 paid finishes in the women's 100 m hurdles, one of them a win.
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 17 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $62,250 is 17 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 18 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ditaji Kambundji won?
$62,250, which ranks 495th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 17 paid finishes between 2021 and 2026.
What is Ditaji Kambundji's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the Diamond+ 100 m hurdles at the 2025 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 Ditaji Kambundji 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 Ditaji Kambundji won?
One of 18, worth $10,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $21,000.
Has Ditaji Kambundji 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 Ditaji Kambundji win at the 2025 World Championships?
$70,000, 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.
How much has Ditaji Kambundji won at the World Indoor Championships?
$28,000, from two paid finals across Toruń 2026 and Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Ditaji Kambundji earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships and World Indoor 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.
