Stanley Kebenei prize money
Stanley Kebenei has been paid $15,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1334th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 3rd.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting de Paris 2019 | 3000 m steeplechase | 7th | $1,500 |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2019 | 3000 m steeplechase | 9th | - |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2017 | 3000 m steeplechase | 4th | $6,000 |
| Herculis 2017 | 3000 m steeplechase | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2016 | 3000 m steeplechase | 5th | $2,500 |
| Bauhausgalan 2015 | 3000 m steeplechase | 8th | $1,000 |
| All six | Men's 3000 m steeplechase | - | $15,000 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $15,000 is five 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 six starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $10,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Stanley Kebenei in 2018, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $15,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Stanley Kebenei won?
$15,000, which ranks 1334th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2015 and 2019.
What is Stanley Kebenei's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 4th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2017 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Stanley Kebenei 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 Stanley Kebenei 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 Stanley Kebenei 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.
