Tadese Worku prize money
Tadese Worku has been paid $750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2002nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 3000 m, and it was 7th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2021 | 3000 m | 7th | $750 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $750 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Cross Country Championships
What Tadese Worku ran on the grass, 2024 and 2026
| RACE | PLACE | MARK | EARNED | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Senior men's race | 4th | 28:49 | $7,000 | $20,000 |
| Senior men's race | 12th | 28:50 | — | $12,000 |
The championships have paid Tadese Worku $7,000 of his own, for one finish inside the first six. A senior race pays $30,000 to win and $3,000 for 6th, and nothing at all to the seventh runner home. The teams he ran on earned Ethiopia $32,000, all of it from a team standing, which is settled on the places of the first four runners a country gets home. It is the federation's money rather than his, and it is not added to the $750 at the top of this page. Hescored alongside Berihu Aregawi, Biniam Mehary and Nibret Kinde, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The cross country page holds all 10 races across two championships and the $620,000 they paid out.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Tadese Worku won?
$750, which ranks 2002nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2021.
What is Tadese Worku's biggest Diamond League payday?
$750, for finishing 7th in the 3000 m at the 2021 Bislett Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 7th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Tadese Worku 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 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.
Is this everything Tadese Worku earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Cross Country Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
