Betlhem Desalegn prize money
Betlhem Desalegn has been paid $1,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 3247th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the women's 1500 m and women's 3000 m, and it was 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 she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bauhausgalan 2015 | 3000 m | 3rd | - |
| Qatar Athletic 2013 | 1500 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| All two | two disciplines | - | $1,000 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,000 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. One of the two starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

2013 to 2015, in the order it was won
season running total
2013 is the biggest of them, $1,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Betlhem Desalegn in 2014 and 2015, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $1,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Betlhem Desalegn won?
$1,000, which ranks 3247th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish between 2013 and 2015.
What is Betlhem Desalegn's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,000, for finishing 8th in the 1500 m at the 2013 Qatar Athletic. 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 Betlhem Desalegn gets paid?
Entirely by where she 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 women'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 Betlhem Desalegn 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 Betlhem Desalegn 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 her, priced off the card it published.
