Morolake Akinosun prize money
Morolake Akinosun has been paid $21,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1092nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from nine paid finishes in the women's 100 m and women's 200 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.

| Herculis 2016 | 100 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| All nine | two disciplines | - | $21,750 |
The nine paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $21,750 is nine separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $11,500 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Morolake Akinosun in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $21,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Morolake Akinosun won?
$21,750, which ranks 1092nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from nine paid finishes between 2016 and 2023.
What is Morolake Akinosun's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 6th in the 100 m at the 2017 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Morolake Akinosun 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 Morolake Akinosun 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.
