Wilma Murto prize money
Wilma Murto has been paid $32,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 432nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the women's pole vault, one of them a win.
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.

| Anniversary Games 2021 | Pole vault | 3rd | $3,500 |
| All ten | Women's pole vault | — | $32,500 |
The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $32,500 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.06% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the ten starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $23,000 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Wilma Murto in 2024, 2025 and 2026, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $32,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Wilma Murto won?
$32,500, which ranks 432nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2021 and 2026.
What is Wilma Murto's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the pole vault at the 2023 London Athletics Meet. 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 Wilma Murto 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 pole vault 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 Wilma Murto won?
One of ten, worth $10,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $6,500.
Has Wilma Murto ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two 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 Wilma Murto 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.
