Airinė Palšytė prize money
Airinė Palšytė has been paid $33,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 837th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from twelve paid finishes in the women's high jump, one of them a win.
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.

The twelve paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $33,500 is twelve 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.

season running total
2015 is the biggest of them, $13,750 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Airinė Palšytė in 2011, 2017 and 2018, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $33,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Airinė Palšytė won?
$33,500, which ranks 837th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from twelve paid finishes between 2010 and 2019.
What is Airinė Palšytė's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the high jump at the 2015 Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix. 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 Airinė Palšytė 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 win is worth the same in the women's high jump 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 Airinė Palšytė won?
One of twelve, worth $10,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Airinė Palšytė 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.
