The ten paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $34,000 is ten separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the thirteen 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 Nicholas Kiptanui Bett won?
$34,000, which ranks 833rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from ten paid finishes between 2016 and 2019.
What is Nicholas Kiptanui Bett's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2016 Athletissima. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Nicholas Kiptanui Bett 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.
Has Nicholas Kiptanui Bett ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three 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.
Is this everything Nicholas Kiptanui Bett 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 him, priced off the card it published.
