Aleksandr Shustov prize money
Aleksandr Shustov has been paid $22,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1070th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the men's high jump, the best of them 3rd.
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 eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $22,500 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the ten starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2011 is the biggest of them, $7,500 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Aleksandr Shustov in 2014 and 2015, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $22,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Aleksandr Shustov won?
$22,500, which ranks 1070th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2010 and 2015.
What is Aleksandr Shustov's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the high jump at the 2013 Qatar Athletic. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Aleksandr Shustov 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 place is worth the same in the men'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.
Has Aleksandr Shustov ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two 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 Aleksandr Shustov 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.
