Michael Obasuyi prize money
Michael Obasuyi has been paid $6,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1860th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's 110 m hurdles, the best of them 4th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting de Paris 2026 | 110 m hurdles | 4th | $3,000 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2024 | 110 m hurdles | 5th | $2,500 |
| Meeting de Paris 2024 | 110 m hurdles | 6th | $1,000 |
| All three | Men's 110 m hurdles | - | $6,500 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,500 is three 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 Indoor Championships have paid Michael Obasuyi $6,000 for one finish in Nanjing 2025, against $6,500 from three Diamond League starts between 2024 and 2026. Three days indoors paid him more than any whole Diamond League season has. The indoor championships page holds all 53 finals across two editions and the $4,632,000 they paid out.

season running total
2024 is the biggest of them, $3,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Michael Obasuyi in 2025, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $6,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Michael Obasuyi won?
$6,500, which ranks 1860th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2024 and 2026.
What is Michael Obasuyi's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the Diamond+ 110 m hurdles at the 2026 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 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Michael Obasuyi 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 110 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 much has Michael Obasuyi 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 Michael Obasuyi earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 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 him, priced off the card it published.
