Hassan Mead prize money
Hassan Mead has been paid $4,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2196th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 5000 m, the best of them 6th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IAAF Diamond League Shanghai 2019 | 5000 m | 16th | - |
| Prefontaine Classic 2016 | 5000 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| DN Galan 2014 | 5000 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| All three | Men's 5000 m | - | $4,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,000 is two 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 three starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2014 is the biggest of them, $2,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Hassan Mead in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $4,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Hassan Mead won?
$4,000, which ranks 2196th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2014 and 2019.
What is Hassan Mead's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the 5000 m at the 2016 Prefontaine Classic. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Hassan Mead 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 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.
Has Hassan Mead 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 Hassan Mead 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.
