Rhasidat Adeleke prize money
Rhasidat Adeleke has been paid $42,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 359th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from nine paid finishes in the women's 400 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Rhasidat Adeleke won?
$42,250, which ranks 359th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from nine paid finishes between 2023 and 2025.
What is Rhasidat Adeleke's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 2nd in the Diamond+ 200 m at the 2025 Diamond League Shanghai. 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 Rhasidat Adeleke 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 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Rhasidat Adeleke won?
One of nine, worth $10,000 between them. One of her appearance came at a final, which paid $7,000.
Is this everything Rhasidat Adeleke 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.
