Weini Kelati prize money
Weini Kelati has been paid $2,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2647th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's 3000 m and women's 5000 m, the best of them 5th.
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 she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prefontaine Classic 2025 | 5000 m | 10th | - |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2025 | 5000 m | 11th | - |
| Prefontaine Classic 2024 | 5000 m | 9th | - |
| Herculis 2024 | 5000 m | 9th | - |
| Bislett Games 2023 | 3000 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2023 | 5000 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| All six | two disciplines | - | $2,250 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,250 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
2023 is the biggest of them, $2,250 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Weini Kelati in 2024 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $2,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Weini Kelati won?
$2,250, which ranks 2647th 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 Weini Kelati's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,250, for finishing 5th in the 3000 m at the 2023 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 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Weini Kelati gets paid?
Entirely by where she 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 women'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.
Has Weini Kelati 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 Weini Kelati 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 her, priced off the card it published.
