Winny Chebet prize money
Winny Chebet has been paid $64,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 480th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 20 paid finishes in the women's 1500 m, women's 800 m and women'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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 20 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $64,250 is 20 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.06% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Five of the 25 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $28,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Winny Chebet in 2014, 2015, 2020 and 2023, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $64,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Winny Chebet won?
$64,250, which ranks 480th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 20 paid finishes between 2012 and 2023.
What is Winny Chebet's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 3rd in the 1500 m 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 Winny Chebet 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 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 Winny Chebet ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Five 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 Winny Chebet 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.
