The ten paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $39,500 is ten 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Youssef Ahmed Masrahi won?
$39,500, which ranks 757th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from ten paid finishes between 2013 and 2015.
What is Youssef Ahmed Masrahi's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m at the 2013 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 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Youssef Ahmed Masrahi 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 win is worth the same in the men's 400 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Youssef Ahmed Masrahi won?
One of ten, worth $10,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Youssef Ahmed Masrahi 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.
