Kim Amb prize money
Kim Amb has been paid $39,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 760th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from fifteen paid finishes in the men's javelin throw, one of them a win.
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.

The fifteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $39,000 is fifteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2013 is the biggest of them, $19,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Kim Amb in 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $39,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Kim Amb won?
$39,000, which ranks 760th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fifteen paid finishes between 2012 and 2022.
What is Kim Amb's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the javelin throw at the 2013 Athletissima. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st 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 win 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Kim Amb won?
One of fifteen, worth $10,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Kim Amb 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.
