Emmanuel Bamidele prize money
Emmanuel Bamidele has been paid $7,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1776th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 400 m, 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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2024 | 400 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| Bauhausgalan 2023 | 400 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| All two | Men's 400 m | - | $7,250 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,250 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% 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 Emmanuel Bamidele won?
$7,250, which ranks 1776th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2023 and 2024.
What is Emmanuel Bamidele's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 400 m at the 2023 Bauhausgalan. 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 Emmanuel Bamidele gets paid?
Entirely by where he 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 men's 400 m 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 Emmanuel Bamidele 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 him, priced off the card it published.
