Michelle-Lee Ahye prize money
Michelle-Lee Ahye has been paid $56,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 548th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 17 paid finishes in the women's 100 m and women's 200 m, one of them a win.
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.

The 17 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $56,250 is 17 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Michelle-Lee Ahye won?
$56,250, which ranks 548th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 17 paid finishes between 2014 and 2022.
What is Michelle-Lee Ahye's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 100 m at the 2014 Athletissima. 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 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 win 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 many Diamond League meetings has Michelle-Lee Ahye won?
One of 17, worth $10,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $10,000.
Is this everything Michelle-Lee Ahye 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.
