Women's 100 m prize money
The Diamond League has paid $2,094,250 in the women's 100 m, to 106 athletes across 61 runnings of it, from 2017 to 2026. Julien Alfred has taken more of it than anyone, $204,000.
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. Seven of the 61 runnings were at the series final, which pays on its own ladder: $30,000 for the win at the 2026 final. Eleven of the 61 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 2017 once. 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. 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 61 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?
$2,094,250 across 61 runnings of it, to 106 athletes from 35 countries. That is 3.9% of everything the series has paid, and the 2nd 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. Seven of the 61 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?
Julien Alfred, on $204,000 from twelve paid finishes, eight of them wins. 65 of the 106 athletes the discipline has paid were paid in it more than once.
Who has won the most Diamond League women's 100 m titles?
Julien Alfred and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, on eight wins apiece. 19 different athletes have won a Diamond League women's 100 m across the 61 runnings on this site.
How often does the Diamond League run the women's 100 m?
61 times across nine seasons, from 2017 to 2026, on the programmes of 17 different meetings. 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. 479 payments have gone to 106 athletes in this discipline, and 24 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
