Anass Essayi prize money
Anass Essayi has been paid $16,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1261st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the men's 1500 m and men's mile, 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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltklasse Zürich 2026 | 1500 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2026 | 1500 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2026 | 1500 m | 9th | - |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2025 | 1500 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2025 | 1500 m | 6th | $4,000 |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2025 | 1500 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Bislett Games 2025 | Mile | 6th | $2,000 |
| All seven | two disciplines | - | $16,500 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $16,500 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the seven 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 Anass Essayi won?
$16,500, which ranks 1261st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2025 and 2026.
What is Anass Essayi's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 1500 m at the 2025 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. 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 Anass Essayi 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 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.
Has Anass Essayi ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Anass Essayi 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.
