Kevin López prize money
Kevin López has been paid $5,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1984th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 800 m and men's 1500 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athletissima 2019 | 1500 m | 10th | - |
| Monaco 2013 | 800 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2013 | 800 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All three | two disciplines | - | $5,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,500 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
2013 is the biggest of them, $5,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Kevin López in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $5,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kevin López won?
$5,500, which ranks 1984th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2013 and 2019.
What is Kevin López's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the 800 m at the 2013 Monaco. 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 Kevin López 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.
Has Kevin López 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 Kevin López 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.
