Jaël Bestué prize money
Jaël Bestué has been paid $13,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1426th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the women's 200 m and women's 100 m, the best of them 3rd.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2026 | 100 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2026 | 200 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| London Athletics Meet 2025 | 200 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2025 | 200 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2023 | 200 m | 3rd | $3,500 |
| All five | two disciplines | - | $13,000 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $13,000 is five 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.
The World Championships
What Jaël Bestué did in Tokyo, 2025
Jaël Bestué went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. She ran on the Spain team that finished 5th in the women's 4 × 100 metres relay, $12,000 to the federation rather than to any one of the four. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Jaël Bestué ran on, 2025 and 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 4 × 100 metres relay | 2nd | 42.28 | $20,000 |
| Women's 4 × 100 metres relay | 3rd | 42.31 | $10,000 |
The World Relays have paid $30,000 for the two teams Jaël Bestué ran on across Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026, and all of it went to Spain rather than to the four who ran. The $13,000 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid her. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team she ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. She ran alongside Paula Sevilla and María Isabel Pérez, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.

season running total
2026 is the biggest of them, $5,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jaël Bestué in 2024, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $13,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jaël Bestué won?
$13,000, which ranks 1426th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2023 and 2026.
What is Jaël Bestué's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the 200 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 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Jaël Bestué 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 place is worth the same in the women's 200 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.
What did Jaël Bestué's World Relays teams win?
$30,000, across two paid finals at Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Jaël Bestué or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Jaël Bestué earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Relays 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.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Jaël Bestué is Dongpeng Shi on $13,000, and one below Jeanine Assani Issouf on $13,000. Jaël Bestué is one of 72 Spain athletes athletics has paid, and Spain athletics prize money adds them up to $1,462,000 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see women's 200 m prize money and women's 100 m prize money. The series has paid out in 20 women's disciplines and Jaël Bestué has been paid in two of them. The biggest of the rest are women's 100 m hurdles, women's 400 m and women's 800 m. Every meeting she has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Doha Diamond League has its own page across every edition of it. 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 4 × 100 metres relay page. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relay is on the women's 4 × 100 metres relay page.
