Elijah Manangoi prize money
Elijah Manangoi has been paid $42,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 360th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's 1500 m, men's mile and men's 800 m, three 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2019 | 1500 m | 1st | $10,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2019 | 1500 m | 10th | — |
| Bislett Games 2018 | Mile | 1st | $10,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2018 | 800 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2017 | 1500 m | 1st | $10,000 |
| Bislett Games 2017 | 1500 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| All six | three disciplines | — | $42,000 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $42,000 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.08% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One 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 Elijah Manangoi won?
$42,000, which ranks 360th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2017 and 2019.
What is Elijah Manangoi's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 1500 m at the 2019 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 Elijah Manangoi 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 Elijah Manangoi won?
Three of six, worth $30,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Has Elijah Manangoi 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. He is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Elijah Manangoi 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.
