Mikhail Akimenko prize money
Mikhail Akimenko has been paid $10,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 837th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's high jump, one of them a win.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Herculis EBS 2021 | High jump | 1st | $10,000 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $10,000 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Mikhail Akimenko won?
$10,000, which ranks 837th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2021.
What is Mikhail Akimenko's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the high jump at the 2021 Herculis EBS. 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 Mikhail Akimenko 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 win is worth the same in the men'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 Mikhail Akimenko won?
One of one, worth $10,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Mikhail Akimenko 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.
