Lonah Chemtai Salpeter prize money
Lonah Chemtai Salpeter has been paid $1,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 3034th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the women's 3000 m and women's 5000 m, and it was 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 she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Müller Anniversary Games 2019 | 5000 m | 14th | - |
| Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 2018 | 3000 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All two | two disciplines | - | $1,500 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,500 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Lonah Chemtai Salpeter won?
$1,500, which ranks 3034th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish between 2018 and 2019.
What is Lonah Chemtai Salpeter's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,500, for finishing 7th in the 3000 m at the 2018 Müller Grand Prix Birmingham. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 7th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Lonah Chemtai Salpeter 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 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 Lonah Chemtai Salpeter 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Lonah Chemtai Salpeter 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 her, priced off the card it published.
