Phyllis Francis prize money
Phyllis Francis has been paid $17,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 647th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from five 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2019 | 400 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2019 | 400 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2019 | 200 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Bislett Games 2018 | 400 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2018 | 400 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| All five | two disciplines | — | $17,500 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $17,500 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% 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 Phyllis Francis won?
$17,500, which ranks 647th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2018 and 2019.
What is Phyllis Francis's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 400 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 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
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 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.
