Robert Farken prize money
Robert Farken has been paid $12,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1461st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the men's mile and men's 1500 m, the best of them 4th.
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.

The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $12,500 is seven 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. Six of the thirteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Robert Farken stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where he finished.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Robert Farken won?
$12,500, which ranks 1461st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2024 and 2026.
What is Robert Farken's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the Diamond+ mile at the 2026 London Athletics Meet. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Robert Farken 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 place is worth the same in the men's mile 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.
Has Robert Farken ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Six 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.
How much did Robert Farken win at the 2025 World Championships?
$7,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Robert Farken earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
