Lawrence Kemboi prize money
Lawrence Kemboi has been paid $2,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1532nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 7th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltklasse Zürich 2022 | 3000 m steeplechase | 7th | $1,500 |
| Doha Diamond League 2022 | 3000 m steeplechase | 8th | $500 |
| All two | Men's 3000 m steeplechase | — | $2,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,000 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Lawrence Kemboi won?
$2,000, which ranks 1532nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2022.
What is Lawrence Kemboi's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,500, for finishing 7th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2022 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Lawrence Kemboi 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 3000 m steeplechase 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 Lawrence Kemboi 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.
