Kipyegon Bett prize money
Kipyegon Bett has been paid $6,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1046th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 800 m, and it was 2nd.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2018 | 800 m | 10th | — |
| Meeting de Paris 2017 | 800 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| All two | Men's 800 m | — | $6,000 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,000 is one 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. One of the two starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
Season by season
2017 to 2018, in the order it was won
season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $6,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Kipyegon Bett in 2018, so that column stands 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 Kipyegon Bett won?
$6,000, which ranks 1046th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish between 2017 and 2018.
What is Kipyegon Bett's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 800 m at the 2017 Meeting de Paris. 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 Kipyegon Bett 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 Kipyegon Bett 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. He is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Kipyegon Bett 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.
