Lomi Muleta prize money
Lomi Muleta has been paid $7,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1760th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the women's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 5th.
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.

| All ten | Women's 3000 m steeplechase | - | $7,500 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,500 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Four of the ten starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $2,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Lomi Muleta in 2022, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $7,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Lomi Muleta won?
$7,500, which ranks 1760th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2021 and 2025.
What is Lomi Muleta's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2025 Bislett Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Lomi Muleta gets paid?
Entirely by where she 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 women'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.
Has Lomi Muleta ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Four times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
How much did Lomi Muleta win at the 2025 World Championships?
$5,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Lomi Muleta earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid her, priced off the card it published.
