Bahamas athletics prize money
The Bahamas have taken $1,125,958 out of athletics, 28th of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Shaunae Miller-Uibo is the biggest earner on $415,000, 36.9% of the national total.
All of it belongs to 22 athletes by name. The Bahamas have never been paid a relay purse, a World Relays ladder place or a cross country team standing, which are the three things that pay a federation rather than a person.

The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for the Bahamas on $1,029,958, 91.5% of the national total. Three of the six have paid the Bahamas. The Bahamas have won nothing at the Ultimate Championship, the World Relays and the World Cross Country Championships.
The ATHLETES column counts the people each competition paid, so it does not add up to 22: one athlete has been paid by more than one of the six, and is counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total. Devynne Charlton has been paid by three of them: the Diamond League, the World Championships and the World Indoor Championships.
