Rababe Arafi prize money
Rababe Arafi has been paid $76,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 412th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 24 paid finishes in the women's 1500 m, women's 800 m and women's mile, one of them a win.
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
The 24 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $76,500 is 24 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.07% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the 27 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2018 is the biggest of them, $21,000 from eight starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Rababe Arafi in 2016 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $76,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Rababe Arafi won?
$76,500, which ranks 412th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 24 paid finishes between 2013 and 2021.
What is Rababe Arafi's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 1500 m at the 2019 IAAF Diamond League Shanghai. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Rababe Arafi 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 win is worth the same in the women's 1500 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Rababe Arafi won?
One of 27, worth $10,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $7,000.
Has Rababe Arafi 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 Rababe Arafi 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.
