Timothy Kitum prize money
Timothy Kitum has been paid $20,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1146th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the men's 800 m, the best of them 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.

| Prefontaine Classic 2016 | 800 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Bauhausgalan 2016 | 800 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| DN Galan 2014 | 800 m | 8th | $1,000 |

| Memorial Van Damme 2013 | 800 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Shanghai Golden Grand Prix 2012 | 800 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2012 | 800 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All eight | Men's 800 m | - | $20,000 |
The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $20,000 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2012 is the biggest of them, $7,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Timothy Kitum in 2015, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $20,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Timothy Kitum won?
$20,000, which ranks 1146th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2012 and 2016.
What is Timothy Kitum's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 800 m at the 2012 Shanghai Golden Grand Prix. 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 Timothy Kitum 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 800 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 Timothy Kitum 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.
