Amel Tuka prize money
Amel Tuka has been paid $21,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 571st of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eleven paid finishes in the men's 800 m, the best of them 3rd.
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 eleven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $21,250 is eleven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the thirteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $10,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Amel Tuka in 2018 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $21,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Amel Tuka won?
$21,250, which ranks 571st of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eleven paid finishes between 2017 and 2022.
What is Amel Tuka's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 800 m at the 2019 Herculis. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Amel Tuka 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 place is worth the same in the men's 800 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.
Has Amel Tuka 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. He are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Amel Tuka earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
