Women's 100 m prize money
The Diamond League has paid $4,019,250 in the women's 100 m, to 164 athletes across 121 runnings of it, from 2010 to 2026. Marie Josée Ta Lou-Smith has taken more of it than anyone, $300,500.
The series pays by finishing place and by nothing else, so a win here is worth what a win in any other discipline is worth: $10,000 at a 2026 series meeting, eight places paid, and nothing for ninth. Nine of the 121 runnings were at the series final, which pays on its own ladder: $30,000 for the win at the 2026 final. Eleven of the 121 runnings were Diamond+, which pays double.

Every Diamond League women's 100 m
Who won it, what the win paid and what the field took
What the women's 100 m paid each season
season running total
The line is the running total. A season's figure is the rate multiplied by how many meetings put the discipline on, so the columns move with the programme rather than with who turned up: 2022 ran it nine times and 2010 seven times. Nobody has ever shared the win in it, so every figure in the win column is one athlete's cheque.

Every meeting pays the same ladder, so this column ranks how often each one put the discipline on rather than how generous it is. Weltklasse Zürich and Prefontaine Classic have each run it eleven times. Each meeting links to everything it has paid across every edition of it.

One column per ladder, and none of them is specific to this discipline: the women's 100 m is paid on the same card as the shot put and the 1500 m at the same meeting. There is no appearance money in any of it, nothing for a record, and nothing at all for ninth place. The Diamond+ columns are the eleven of 121 runnings where the series doubled the discipline's rate for the day.
Frequently asked questions
How much prize money does the Diamond League pay in the women's 100 m?
$4,019,250 across 121 runnings of it, to 164 athletes from 42 countries. That is 3.5% of everything the series has paid, and the 1st biggest of the 41 disciplines on this site.
What does a win in the women's 100 m pay?
$10,000, and double that at a meeting where it is a Diamond+ discipline. It is the same figure in every discipline on a programme, so a win here pays exactly what a win in the shot put pays. Nine of the 121 runnings were at the series final, which pays on its own ladder: $30,000 for the win at the 2026 final.
Who has earned the most in the women's 100 m?
Marie Josée Ta Lou-Smith, on $300,500 from 51 paid finishes, nine of them wins. 108 of the 164 athletes the discipline has paid were paid in it more than once.
Who has won the most Diamond League women's 100 m titles?
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, on 19 wins. 28 different athletes have won a Diamond League women's 100 m across the 121 runnings on this site.
How often does the Diamond League run the women's 100 m?
121 times across sixteen seasons, from 2010 to 2026, on the programmes of 18 different meetings. Weltklasse Zürich and Prefontaine Classic have each run it eleven times, more often than anywhere else. The series rotates its programme, so no discipline is on every card.
How far down the field does the women's 100 m pay?
Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however good the mark was. 946 payments have gone to 164 athletes in this discipline, and 24 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
