Viktor Butenko prize money
Viktor Butenko has been paid $5,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2067th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's discus throw, the best of them 3rd.
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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2014 | Discus throw | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Weltklasse 2013 | Discus throw | 8th | $1,000 |
| All two | Men's discus throw | - | $5,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,000 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Viktor Butenko won?
$5,000, which ranks 2067th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2013 and 2014.
What is Viktor Butenko's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the discus throw at the 2014 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Viktor Butenko 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 discus throw 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 Viktor Butenko 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 him, priced off the card it published.
