Aman Wote prize money
Aman Wote has been paid $57,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 538th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 20 paid finishes in the men's 1500 m and men's mile, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 20 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $57,000 is 20 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. Two of the 22 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $15,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Aman Wote in 2015, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $57,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Aman Wote won?
$57,000, which ranks 538th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 20 paid finishes between 2013 and 2019.
What is Aman Wote's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 1500 m at the 2017 Athletissima. 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 Aman Wote gets paid?
Entirely by where he 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 men's 1500 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 Aman Wote won?
One of 22, worth $10,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $4,000.
Has Aman Wote 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Aman Wote 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 him, priced off the card it published.
