Grace Stark prize money
Grace Stark has been paid $86,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 362nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from twelve paid finishes in the women's 100 m hurdles, three 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.

The twelve paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $86,500 is twelve 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 Grace Stark won?
$86,500, which ranks 362nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from twelve paid finishes between 2024 and 2026.
What is Grace Stark's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 1st in the Diamond+ 100 m hurdles at the 2025 Meeting de Paris. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Grace Stark 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 Grace Stark won?
Three of twelve, worth $40,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $14,000.
How much did Grace Stark win at the 2025 World Championships?
$22,000, 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 Grace Stark won at the World Indoor Championships?
$6,000, from one paid final in 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 Grace Stark 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.
