Maryam Yusuf Jamal prize money
Maryam Yusuf Jamal has been paid $58,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 526th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eleven paid finishes in the women's 1500 m, women's 3000 m and women's 800 m, four 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Maryam Yusuf Jamal won?
$58,500, which ranks 526th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eleven paid finishes between 2010 and 2012.
What is Maryam Yusuf Jamal's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 1500 m at the 2012 London 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 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Maryam Yusuf Jamal 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 1500 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 many Diamond League meetings has Maryam Yusuf Jamal won?
Four of eleven, worth $40,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Maryam Yusuf Jamal 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 her, priced off the card it published.
