John Kipkoech prize money
John Kipkoech has been paid $22,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1076th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the men's 5000 m and men's 3000 m, 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has John Kipkoech won?
$22,500, which ranks 1076th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2012 and 2014.
What is John Kipkoech's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 5000 m at the 2012 Shanghai Golden 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 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what John Kipkoech 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.
Is this everything John Kipkoech 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.
