Sam Tanner prize money
Sam Tanner has been paid $3,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1346th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's 1500 m and men's mile, the best of them 5th.
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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2025 | 1500 m | 13th | — |
| Athletissima 2023 | 1500 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2023 | 1500 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| London Athletics Meet 2023 | 1500 m | 10th | — |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2023 | 1500 m | 11th | — |
| Prefontaine Classic 2023 | Mile | 11th | — |
| Athletissima 2022 | 1500 m | 8th | $500 |
| All seven | two disciplines | — | $3,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,000 is three 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. Four of the seven starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $2,500 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Sam Tanner in 2024 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $3,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Sam Tanner won?
$3,000, which ranks 1346th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2022 and 2025.
What is Sam Tanner's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,250, for finishing 5th in the 1500 m at the 2023 Athletissima. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Sam Tanner 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 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.
Has Sam Tanner ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Four 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. He are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Sam Tanner 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 him, priced off the card it published.
