Hagos Gebrhiwet prize money
Hagos Gebrhiwet has been paid $235,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 78th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 35 paid finishes in the men's 5000 m and men's 3000 m, ten 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
The 35 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $235,000 is 35 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 36 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2013 is the biggest of them, $40,000 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Hagos Gebrhiwet in 2017, 2020 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $235,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Hagos Gebrhiwet won?
$235,000, which ranks 78th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 35 paid finishes between 2012 and 2025.
What is Hagos Gebrhiwet's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the 5000 m at the 2019 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Hagos Gebrhiwet 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 Hagos Gebrhiwet won?
Ten of 36, worth $100,000 between them. Three of his appearances came at a final, which paid $52,000.
Has Hagos Gebrhiwet 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 Hagos Gebrhiwet 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.

The rest of the Diamond League money
