Samuel Duguna prize money
Samuel Duguna has been paid $1,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 3096th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 8th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiamen Diamond League 2025 | 3000 m steeplechase | 8th | $1,000 |
| Diamond League Shanghai 2025 | 3000 m steeplechase | 11th | - |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2024 | 3000 m steeplechase | 8th | $500 |
| Bauhausgalan 2024 | 3000 m steeplechase | 11th | - |
| Meeting de Paris 2024 | 3000 m steeplechase | 15th | - |
| Bauhausgalan 2023 | 3000 m steeplechase | 10th | - |
| All six | Men's 3000 m steeplechase | - | $1,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,500 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Four of the six starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $1,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Samuel Duguna in 2023, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $1,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Samuel Duguna won?
$1,500, which ranks 3096th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2023 and 2025.
What is Samuel Duguna's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,000, for finishing 8th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2025 Xiamen Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 8th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Samuel Duguna 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 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 Samuel Duguna 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Samuel Duguna 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.
