Shashalee Forbes prize money
Shashalee Forbes has been paid $2,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1434th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltklasse Zürich 2023 | 100 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| Memorial Van Damme 2023 | 100 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2023 | 100 m | 9th | — |
| All three | Women's 100 m | — | $2,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,500 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. One of the three 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 Shashalee Forbes won?
$2,500, which ranks 1434th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2023.
What is Shashalee Forbes's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,250, for finishing 5th in the 100 m at the 2023 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Shashalee Forbes 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.
Has Shashalee Forbes ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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 is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Shashalee Forbes 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.
