Zahra Bani prize money
Zahra Bani has been paid $7,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1773rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the women's javelin throw, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2019 | Javelin throw | 11th | - |
| Golden Gala 2012 | Javelin throw | 6th | $2,000 |
| Golden Gala 2011 | Javelin throw | 7th | $1,500 |
| Herculis 2011 | Javelin throw | 7th | $1,500 |
| Doha Diamond League 2010 | Javelin throw | 5th | $2,500 |
| All five | Women's javelin throw | - | $7,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,500 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the five starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2011 is the biggest of them, $3,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Zahra Bani in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $7,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Zahra Bani won?
$7,500, which ranks 1773rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2010 and 2019.
What is Zahra Bani's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the javelin throw at the 2010 Doha Diamond League. 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 Zahra Bani 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 javelin throw 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 Zahra Bani 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 Zahra Bani 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.
