Agnes Tirop prize money
Agnes Tirop has been paid $59,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 517th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from fifteen paid finishes in the women's 5000 m and women's 3000 m, two 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 fifteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $59,000 is fifteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2018 is the biggest of them, $23,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Agnes Tirop in 2015, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $59,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Agnes Tirop won?
$59,000, which ranks 517th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fifteen paid finishes between 2013 and 2019.
What is Agnes Tirop's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 5000 m at the 2019 Bauhausgalan. 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 Agnes Tirop 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 5000 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 Agnes Tirop won?
Two of fifteen, worth $20,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $9,000.
Is this everything Agnes Tirop 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.
