Edis Matusevičius prize money
Edis Matusevičius has been paid $8,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1700th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the men'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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it

|---|---|---|---|
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2025 | Javelin throw | 6th | $2,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2025 | Javelin throw | 7th | $1,500 |

| Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 2019 | Javelin throw | 6th | $2,000 |
| All eight | Men's javelin throw | - | $8,250 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $8,250 is six 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. Two of the eight starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $3,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Edis Matusevičius in 2020, 2021 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $8,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Edis Matusevičius won?
$8,250, which ranks 1700th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2019 and 2025.
What is Edis Matusevičius's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the javelin throw at the 2025 AG Memorial Van Damme. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Edis Matusevičius 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 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 Edis Matusevičius 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 Edis Matusevičius 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.
