Homiyu Tesfaye prize money
Homiyu Tesfaye has been paid $11,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1503rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's 1500 m and men's mile, the best of them 3rd.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Herculis 2017 | 1500 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| ExxonMobil Bislett Games 2014 | Mile | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2014 | 1500 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Belgacom Memorial Van Damme 2014 | 1500 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| All four | two disciplines | - | $11,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $11,500 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.

season running total
2014 is the biggest of them, $9,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Homiyu Tesfaye in 2015 and 2016, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $11,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Homiyu Tesfaye won?
$11,500, which ranks 1503rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2014 and 2017.
What is Homiyu Tesfaye's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the mile at the 2014 ExxonMobil Bislett Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Homiyu Tesfaye 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.
Is this everything Homiyu 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 him, priced off the card it published.
