Michelle-Lee Ahye prize money
Michelle-Lee Ahye has been paid $6,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 989th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three 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 de Paris 2022 | 100 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| IAAF Diamond League Shanghai 2019 | 100 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Bislett Games 2018 | 100 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| All three | Women's 100 m | — | $6,750 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,750 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Michelle-Lee Ahye won?
$6,750, which ranks 989th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2018 and 2022.
What is Michelle-Lee Ahye's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 100 m at the 2018 Bislett Games. 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 Michelle-Lee Ahye 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.
Is this everything Michelle-Lee Ahye earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
