Andrew Butchart prize money
Andrew Butchart has been paid $6,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 992nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's 3000 m and men's 5000 m, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anniversary Games 2021 | 3000 m | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Müller Grand Prix Gateshead 2021 | 5000 m | 6th | $1,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2019 | 5000 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Oslo Bislett Games 2019 | 3000 m | 10th | — |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2019 | 5000 m | 11th | — |
| Doha Diamond League 2017 | 3000 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| All six | two disciplines | — | $6,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,500 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the six starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $4,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Andrew Butchart in 2018 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $6,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Andrew Butchart won?
$6,500, which ranks 992nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2017 and 2021.
What is Andrew Butchart's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the 3000 m at the 2021 Anniversary Games. 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 Andrew Butchart 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 3000 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.
Has Andrew Butchart 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. He are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Andrew Butchart earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
