Nataliya Lupu prize money
Nataliya Lupu has been paid $10,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1561st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the women's 800 m, the best of them 2nd.
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 Areva 2015 | 800 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Bislett Games 2013 | 800 m | 2nd | $6,000 |
| Weltklasse 2013 | 800 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Athletissima 2012 | 800 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All four | Women's 800 m | - | $10,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $10,500 is four 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
2013 is the biggest of them, $8,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Nataliya Lupu in 2014, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $10,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Nataliya Lupu won?
$10,500, which ranks 1561st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2012 and 2015.
What is Nataliya Lupu's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 800 m at the 2013 Bislett Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Nataliya Lupu 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 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.
Is this everything Nataliya Lupu 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.
