Paul Kipngetich Tanui prize money
Paul Kipngetich Tanui has been paid $11,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1508th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's 5000 m and men's 3000 m, the best of them 2nd.
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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athletissima 2019 | 5000 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2019 | 5000 m | 17th | - |
| Oslo Bislett Games 2019 | 3000 m | 14th | - |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2015 | 5000 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Meeting Areva 2014 | 5000 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| All five | two disciplines | - | $11,500 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $11,500 is three 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. Two of the five starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2015 is the biggest of them, $6,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Paul Kipngetich Tanui in 2016, 2017 and 2018, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $11,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Paul Kipngetich Tanui won?
$11,500, which ranks 1508th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2014 and 2019.
What is Paul Kipngetich Tanui's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 5000 m at the 2015 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. 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 Paul Kipngetich Tanui 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 5000 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 Paul Kipngetich Tanui ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two 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 Paul Kipngetich Tanui 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.
