Phyllis Francis prize money
Phyllis Francis has been paid $58,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 527th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from twelve paid finishes in the women's 400 m and women's 200 m, the best of them 2nd.
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 twelve paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $58,500 is twelve 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.

season running total
2018 is the biggest of them, $45,000 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Phyllis Francis in 2016, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $58,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Phyllis Francis won?
$58,500, which ranks 527th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from twelve paid finishes between 2015 and 2019.
What is Phyllis Francis's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the 400 m at the 2018 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 Phyllis Francis 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 400 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 Phyllis Francis 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.
