Bonface Mucheru prize money
Bonface Mucheru has been paid $1,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 3254th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 400 m hurdles, 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.
The payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memorial Van Damme 2015 | 400 m hurdles | 8th | $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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Bonface Mucheru won?
$1,000, which ranks 3254th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2015.
What is Bonface Mucheru's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,000, for finishing 8th in the 400 m hurdles at the 2015 Memorial Van Damme. 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 Bonface Mucheru 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 Bonface Mucheru 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.
