Daisy Jepkemei prize money
Daisy Jepkemei has been paid $38,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 772nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from fifteen paid finishes in the women's 3000 m steeplechase, 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
The fifteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $38,250 is fifteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the 18 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Daisy Jepkemei stood in one 2025 World Championships final in Tokyo and finished outside the money. The championships pay eight places, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th, and nothing at all below that. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.

What Daisy Jepkemei ran on the grass
| RACE | PLACE | MARK | EARNED | TEAM PAID |

The championships have paid Daisy Jepkemei $3,000 of her own, for one finish inside the first six. A senior race pays $30,000 to win and $3,000 for 6th, and nothing at all to the seventh runner home. The cross country page holds all 10 races across two championships and the $620,000 they paid out.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $13,000 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Daisy Jepkemei in 2016, 2020, 2021 and 2023, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $38,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Daisy Jepkemei won?
$38,250, which ranks 772nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fifteen paid finishes between 2015 and 2025.
What is Daisy Jepkemei's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2022 Bauhausgalan. 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 Daisy Jepkemei 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 win is worth the same in the women's 3000 m steeplechase 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 Daisy Jepkemei won?
One of 18, worth $10,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $8,000.
Has Daisy Jepkemei 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Daisy Jepkemei earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Cross Country Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
