Patricia Silva prize money
Patricia Silva has been paid $4,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1226th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's 1500 m, the best of them 5th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2026 | 1500 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Meeting de Paris 2026 | 1500 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2026 | 1500 m | 12th | — |
| All three | Women's 1500 m | — | $4,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,000 is two 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. One of the three starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Patricia Silva won?
$4,000, which ranks 1226th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2026.
What is Patricia Silva's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the Diamond+ 1500 m at the 2026 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Patricia Silva 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 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.
Has Patricia Silva ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. She is in the result table on this site either way.
How much has Patricia Silva won at the World Indoor Championships?
$10,000, 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 Patricia Silva earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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 her, priced off the card it published.
