Shafiqua Maloney prize money
Shafiqua Maloney has been paid $17,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 641st of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the women's 800 m and women's 400 m, the best of them 4th.
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 eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $17,750 is eight 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 Shafiqua Maloney won?
$17,750, which ranks 641st of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2024 and 2026.
What is Shafiqua Maloney's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 4th in the 800 m at the 2025 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Shafiqua Maloney 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 800 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 Shafiqua Maloney 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.
