Ksenija Balta prize money
Ksenija Balta has been paid $14,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1374th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the women's long 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting de Paris 2016 | Long jump | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2016 | Long jump | 4th | $3,000 |
| Bislett Games 2016 | Long jump | 5th | $2,500 |
| Bauhausgalan 2016 | Long jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| New York adidas Grand Prix 2010 | Long jump | 4th | $3,000 |
| All five | Women's long jump | - | $14,000 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $14,000 is five 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.

season running total
2016 is the biggest of them, $11,000 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Ksenija Balta in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $14,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ksenija Balta won?
$14,000, which ranks 1374th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2010 and 2016.
What is Ksenija Balta's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the long jump at the 2016 Meeting de Paris. 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 Ksenija Balta 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 place is worth the same in the women's long 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.
Is this everything Ksenija Balta 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.
