Bashir Abdi prize money
Bashir Abdi has been paid $1,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2930th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 5000 m, and it was 7th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muller Anniversary Games 2016 | 5000 m | 7th | $1,500 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,500 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

| Men's marathon | Silver | - |
The silver in the men's marathon paid nothing. Only a gold pays, so 97 of the 145 medals awarded on the athletics programme in Paris carried no money at all. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Bashir Abdi won?
$1,500, which ranks 2930th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2016.
What is Bashir Abdi's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,500, for finishing 7th in the 5000 m at the 2016 Muller Anniversary Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 7th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Bashir Abdi 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 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.
Is this everything Bashir Abdi 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.
