James Dasaolu prize money
James Dasaolu has been paid $15,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1326th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's 100 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athletissima 2017 | 100 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix 2015 | 100 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Glasgow Grand Prix 2014 | 100 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Belgacom Memorial Van Damme 2014 | 100 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| British Grand Prix 2013 | 100 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| All five | Men's 100 m | - | $15,000 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $15,000 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.

season running total
2013 is the biggest of them, $6,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid James Dasaolu in 2016, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $15,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has James Dasaolu won?
$15,000, which ranks 1326th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2013 and 2017.
What is James Dasaolu's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 100 m at the 2013 British Grand Prix. 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 James Dasaolu 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 100 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 James Dasaolu 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.
