Namibia athletics prize money
Namibia has taken $44,750 out of athletics, 80th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Christine Mboma is the biggest earner on $40,000, 89.4% of the national total.
All of it belongs to two athletes by name. Namibia has never been paid a relay purse, a World Relays ladder place or a cross country team standing, which are the three things that pay a federation rather than a person.
Every Namibia athlete athletics has paid
2 of them, biggest first
| # | ATHLETE | PAID | WINS | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Christine Mboma | 2 | 2 | $40,000 |
| 2 | Beatrice Masilingi | 2 | — | $4,750 |
Career totals across all six competitions, not a single season. PAID is how many finishing places were paid for, which is a different count from wins: a second place in a Diamond League final and a world title are both one payment. Two of these athletes have a page of their own here.
The biggest earners
All two of them
Christine Mboma holds 89.4% of everything Namibia has won in athletics. The two biggest hold 100% of it between them, and $22,375 is what the national total works out at per paid athlete.

| All six | 2 | 2 | $44,750 | — | $44,750 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Namibia on $44,750, 100% of the national total. It is also the only one of the six that has ever paid Namibia anything. Namibia has won nothing at the World Championships, the World Indoor Championships, the Ultimate Championship, the World Relays and the World Cross Country Championships.
The ATHLETES column adds up to 2 because no Namibia athlete has been paid by more than one of the six. Where one has, the same person is counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total.
