Amos Serem prize money
Amos Serem has been paid $57,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 263rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eleven paid finishes in the men's 3000 m steeplechase, 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 eleven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $57,250 is eleven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Six of the 17 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Amos Serem won?
$57,250, which ranks 263rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eleven paid finishes between 2022 and 2026.
What is Amos Serem's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2024 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Amos Serem 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 3000 m steeplechase 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 Amos Serem won?
One of 17, worth $30,000 between them. Three of his appearances came at a final, which paid $33,000.
Has Amos Serem ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Six 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 Amos Serem 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.
