Fouad el Kaam prize money
Fouad el Kaam has been paid $3,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2389th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 1500 m, and it was 4th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2017 | 1500 m | 9th | - |
| Bauhausgalan 2015 | 1500 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| All two | Men's 1500 m | - | $3,000 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,000 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the two starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
Season by season
2015 to 2017, in the order it was won
season running total
2015 is the biggest of them, $3,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Fouad el Kaam in 2016 and 2017, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $3,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Fouad el Kaam won?
$3,000, which ranks 2389th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish between 2015 and 2017.
What is Fouad el Kaam's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the 1500 m at the 2015 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Fouad el Kaam 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 Fouad el Kaam 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 Fouad el Kaam 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.
