Bassem Hemeida prize money
Bassem Hemeida has been paid $1,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 3243rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles, the best of them 8th.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2024 | 400 m hurdles | 8th | $500 |
| Bauhausgalan 2024 | 400 m hurdles | 8th | $500 |
| All two | Men's 400 m hurdles | - | $1,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,000 is two 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.
The World Championships
What Bassem Hemeida did in Tokyo, 2025
Bassem Hemeida went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. He ran on the Qatar team that finished 5th in the men's 4 × 400 metres relay, $12,000 to the federation rather than to any one of the four. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Bassem Hemeida ran on
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 400 metres relay | - | DQ | - |
Bassem Hemeida stood in one World Relays final and the team was paid for it. The ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so the only way past it is not to finish: a dropped baton or a disqualification leaves the rung empty and the meeting keeps the money. He ran alongside Ammar Ibrahim and Ashraf Osman, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Bassem Hemeida won?
$1,000, which ranks 3243rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2024.
What is Bassem Hemeida's biggest Diamond League payday?
$500, for finishing 8th in the 400 m hurdles at the 2024 Bislett Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 8th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Bassem Hemeida 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 400 m hurdles 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 Bassem Hemeida 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.
