Edwin Soi prize money
Edwin Soi has been paid $68,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 461st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 18 paid finishes in the men's 5000 m and men's 3000 m, two of them wins.
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.

| All 19 | two disciplines | - | $68,000 |
The 18 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $68,000 is 18 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.06% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 19 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2014 is the biggest of them, $25,500 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Edwin Soi in 2017, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $68,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Edwin Soi won?
$68,000, which ranks 461st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 18 paid finishes between 2010 and 2017.
What is Edwin Soi's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 5000 m at the 2014 Meeting Areva. 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 Edwin Soi 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 5000 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 Edwin Soi won?
Two of 19, worth $20,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Has Edwin Soi ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Edwin Soi 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.
