Jonielle Smith prize money
Jonielle Smith has been paid $13,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 756th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2026 | 100 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2026 | 100 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2026 | 100 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2026 | 100 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Meeting de Paris 2019 | 100 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| All five | Women's 100 m | — | $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 0.02% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Championships
What Jonielle Smith did in Tokyo, 2025
Jonielle Smith went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. She ran on the Jamaica team that finished 2nd in the women's 4 × 100 metres relay, $40,000 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 Ultimate Championship
What Jonielle Smith did in Budapest, 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 100 metres | 4th | 10.94 | — |
Jonielle Smith stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where she finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.
The World Indoor Championships
What Jonielle Smith did indoors
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 60 metres | 5th | 7.06 | $6,000 |
The World Indoor Championships have paid Jonielle Smith $6,000 for one finish in Toruń 2026, against $13,000 from five Diamond League starts between 2019 and 2026. The indoor championships page holds all 53 finals across two editions and the $4,632,000 they paid out.

season running total
2026 is the biggest of them, $11,000 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jonielle Smith in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, so those columns stand 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 Jonielle Smith won?
$13,000, which ranks 756th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2019 and 2026.
What is Jonielle Smith's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the Diamond+ 100 m at the 2026 Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat. 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 Jonielle Smith 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 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.
How much has Jonielle Smith won at the World Indoor Championships?
$6,000, from one paid final in Toruń 2026. 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 Jonielle Smith earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The 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.
