Brian Komen prize money
Brian Komen has been paid $15,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1299th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's 1500 m, one of them a win.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2025 | 1500 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2025 | 1500 m | 11th | - |
| Doha Diamond League 2024 | 1500 m | 1st | $10,000 |
| Herculis 2024 | 1500 m | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Athletissima 2024 | 1500 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2024 | 1500 m | 9th | - |
| All six | Men's 1500 m | - | $15,750 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $15,750 is four 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. Two of the six 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 Brian Komen won?
$15,750, which ranks 1299th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2024 and 2025.
What is Brian Komen's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 1500 m at the 2024 Doha Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Brian Komen 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 win 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Brian Komen won?
One of six, worth $10,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Has Brian Komen ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Brian Komen 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.
