Haftamnesh Tesfaye prize money
Haftamnesh Tesfaye has been paid $9,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1612th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the women's 5000 m and women's 3000 m, the best of them 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 she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| British Athletics Grand Prix 2016 | 5000 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Athletissima 2016 | 3000 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Sainsburys Anniversary Games 2015 | 5000 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Bauhausgalan 2015 | 3000 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| All four | two disciplines | - | $9,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $9,500 is four 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Haftamnesh Tesfaye won?
$9,500, which ranks 1612th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2015 and 2016.
What is Haftamnesh Tesfaye's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the 5000 m at the 2016 British Athletics Grand Prix. 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 Haftamnesh Tesfaye 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 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.
Is this everything Haftamnesh Tesfaye 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.
