Ruddy Zang Milama prize money
Ruddy Zang Milama has been paid $6,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1929th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's 100 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 Grand Prix 2013 | 100 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Bislett Games 2011 | 100 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Shanghai Golden Grand Prix 2011 | 100 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| All three | Women's 100 m | - | $6,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,000 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2011 is the biggest of them, $4,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Ruddy Zang Milama in 2012, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $6,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ruddy Zang Milama won?
$6,000, which ranks 1929th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2011 and 2013.
What is Ruddy Zang Milama's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the 100 m at the 2011 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 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Ruddy Zang Milama 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 Ruddy Zang Milama 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.
