Tori Bowie prize money
Tori Bowie has been paid $121,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 250th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 18 paid finishes in the women's 100 m, women's 200 m and women's long jump, eight of them wins.
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 18 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $121,500 is 18 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Tori Bowie won?
$121,500, which ranks 250th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 18 paid finishes between 2013 and 2018.
What is Tori Bowie's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 200 m at the 2017 Prefontaine Classic. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Tori Bowie 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 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Tori Bowie won?
Eight of 18, worth $80,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Tori Bowie 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.
