Salomé Afonso prize money
Salomé Afonso has been paid $2,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1579th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's 1500 m, women's mile and women's 3000 m, the best of them 8th.
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 | 8th | $1,000 |
| Bislett Games 2026 | 3000 m | 15th | — |
| Meeting de Paris 2026 | 1500 m | 16th | — |
| London Athletics Meet 2025 | Mile | 8th | $1,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2025 | 3000 m | 9th | — |
| Meeting de Paris 2025 | 1500 m | 10th | — |
| All six | three disciplines | — | $2,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,000 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Four of the six 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 Salomé Afonso won?
$2,000, which ranks 1579th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2025 and 2026.
What is Salomé Afonso's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,000, for finishing 8th 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 8th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Salomé Afonso 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 Salomé Afonso ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Four times. 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 are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Salomé Afonso 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.
