Sammy Alex Mutahi prize money
Sammy Alex Mutahi has been paid $6,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1934th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 5000 m, and it was 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shanghai Golden Grand Prix 2012 | 5000 m | 8th | - |
| Golden Gala 2010 | 5000 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| All two | Men's 5000 m | - | $6,000 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,000 is one 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. One of the two starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2010 is the biggest of them, $6,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Sammy Alex Mutahi in 2011 and 2012, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $6,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Sammy Alex Mutahi won?
$6,000, which ranks 1934th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish between 2010 and 2012.
What is Sammy Alex Mutahi's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 5000 m at the 2010 Golden Gala. 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 Sammy Alex Mutahi 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 Sammy Alex Mutahi ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Sammy Alex Mutahi 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.
