Charles Simotwo prize money
Charles Simotwo has been paid $15,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 703rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the men's 1500 m and men's mile, the best of them 3rd.
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.

| Meeting de Paris 2018 | 1500 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| All eleven | two disciplines | — | $15,250 |
The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $15,250 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the eleven starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $6,000 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Charles Simotwo in 2020 and 2023, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $15,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Charles Simotwo won?
$15,250, which ranks 703rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2018 and 2023.
What is Charles Simotwo's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 1500 m at the 2018 Meeting de Paris. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Charles Simotwo 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 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 Charles Simotwo ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three 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. He are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Charles Simotwo earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
