Meskerem Mamo prize money
Meskerem Mamo has been paid $1,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 3052nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the women's 3000 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2019 | 3000 m | 15th | - |
| Doha Diamond League 2018 | 3000 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All two | Women's 3000 m | - | $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.
Season by season
2018 to 2019, in the order it was won
season running total
2018 is the biggest of them, $1,500 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Meskerem Mamo in 2019, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $1,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Meskerem Mamo won?
$1,500, which ranks 3052nd 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 Meskerem Mamo's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,500, for finishing 7th in the 3000 m at the 2018 Doha Diamond League. 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 Meskerem Mamo 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 Meskerem Mamo 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 Meskerem Mamo 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.
