Purity Cherotich Kirui prize money
Purity Cherotich Kirui has been paid $7,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 973rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from four 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.

| Bauhausgalan 2021 | 3000 m steeplechase | 4th | $2,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2021 | 3000 m steeplechase | 10th | — |
| Prefontaine Classic 2019 | 3000 m steeplechase | 8th | $1,000 |

| Bislett Games 2017 | 3000 m steeplechase | 4th | $3,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2017 | 3000 m steeplechase | 11th | — |
| Meeting de Paris 2017 | 3000 m steeplechase | 12th | — |
| All seven | Women's 3000 m steeplechase | — | $7,000 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,000 is four 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. Three 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, $3,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Purity Cherotich Kirui in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $7,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Purity Cherotich Kirui won?
$7,000, which ranks 973rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2017 and 2021.
What is Purity Cherotich Kirui's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th 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 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Purity Cherotich Kirui 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 Purity Cherotich Kirui 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. She are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Purity Cherotich Kirui 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.
