Vincent Kibet prize money
Vincent Kibet has been paid $31,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 871st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from twelve paid finishes in the men's 1500 m and men's mile, 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.

The twelve paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $31,750 is twelve separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the thirteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $10,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Vincent Kibet in 2015, 2018 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $31,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Vincent Kibet won?
$31,750, which ranks 871st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from twelve paid finishes between 2014 and 2021.
What is Vincent Kibet's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the mile at the 2019 Oslo 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 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Vincent Kibet 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 1500 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 Vincent Kibet 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 Vincent Kibet 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.
