Kim Amb prize money
Kim Amb has been paid $6,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1044th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's javelin throw, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bauhausgalan 2022 | Javelin throw | 6th | $1,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2022 | Javelin throw | 8th | $500 |
| Müller Grand Prix Gateshead 2021 | Javelin throw | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Doha Diamond League 2017 | Javelin throw | 8th | $1,000 |
| All four | Men's javelin throw | — | $6,000 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,000 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $3,500 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Kim Amb in 2018, 2019 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $6,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kim Amb won?
$6,000, which ranks 1044th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2017 and 2022.
What is Kim Amb's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the javelin throw at the 2021 Müller Grand Prix Gateshead. 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 Kim Amb 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 javelin throw 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 Kim Amb earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
