Luiza Gega prize money
Luiza Gega has been paid $5,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1106th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 4th.
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.

Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltklasse Zürich 2023 | 3000 m steeplechase | 4th | $2,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2023 | 3000 m steeplechase | 10th | — |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2022 | 3000 m steeplechase | 7th | $750 |
| Doha Diamond League 2021 | 3000 m steeplechase | 11th | — |
| IAAF Diamond League Shanghai 2019 | 3000 m steeplechase | 10th | — |
| Bislett Games 2017 | 3000 m steeplechase | 5th | $2,500 |
| Meeting de Paris 2017 | 3000 m steeplechase | 13th | — |
| All seven | Women's 3000 m steeplechase | — | $5,250 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,250 is three 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. Four of the seven starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $2,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Luiza Gega in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $5,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Luiza Gega won?
$5,250, which ranks 1106th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2017 and 2023.
What is Luiza Gega's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2017 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 Luiza Gega 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 Luiza Gega 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. She are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Luiza Gega 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 her, priced off the card it published.
