Mariya Savinova prize money
Mariya Savinova has been paid $16,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1287th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's 800 m, four 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.

| Memorial Van Damme 2010 | 800 m | 2nd | - |
| All ten | Women's 800 m | - | $16,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $16,000 is two 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. Eight of the ten starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2010 is the biggest of them, $10,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Mariya Savinova in 2011 and 2012, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $16,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Mariya Savinova won?
$16,000, which ranks 1287th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2010 and 2013.
What is Mariya Savinova's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 800 m at the 2010 Prefontaine Classic. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Mariya Savinova 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 800 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Mariya Savinova won?
Four of ten, worth $10,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Has Mariya Savinova ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Eight 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 Mariya Savinova 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.
