The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $17,500 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% 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 Jackson Mumbwa Kivuva won?
$17,500, which ranks 1234th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2010 and 2011.
What is Jackson Mumbwa Kivuva's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 800 m at the 2010 BAUHAUS-galan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Jackson Mumbwa Kivuva 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 800 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 Jackson Mumbwa Kivuva 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.
