Mariya Lasitskene prize money
Mariya Lasitskene has been paid $440,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 9th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 36 paid finishes in the women's high jump, 26 of them wins.
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
The 36 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $440,500 is 36 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.4% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $110,000 from seven starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Mariya Lasitskene in 2016 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $440,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Mariya Lasitskene won?
$440,500, which ranks 9th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 36 paid finishes between 2013 and 2021.
What is Mariya Lasitskene's biggest Diamond League payday?
$50,000, for finishing 1st in the high jump at the 2019 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Mariya Lasitskene 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 Mariya Lasitskene won?
26 of 36, worth $400,000 between them. Four of her appearances came at a final, which paid $180,000.
Is this everything Mariya Lasitskene 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.
