Doreen Amata prize money
Doreen Amata has been paid $8,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1709th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's high jump, the best of them 2nd.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adidas Grand Prix 2013 | High jump | =5th | $2,000 |
| Herculis 2011 | High jump | 2nd | $6,000 |
| All two | Women's high jump | - | $8,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $8,000 is two 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.

season running total
2011 is the biggest of them, $6,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Doreen Amata in 2012, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $8,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Doreen Amata won?
$8,000, which ranks 1709th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2011 and 2013.
What is Doreen Amata's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the high jump at the 2011 Herculis. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Doreen Amata 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 high jump 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 Doreen Amata 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.
