Alice Schmidt prize money
Alice Schmidt has been paid $3,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2355th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the women's 800 m, and it was 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.

| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| DN Galan 2011 | 800 m | 4th | $3,000 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,000 is one 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 Alice Schmidt won?
$3,000, which ranks 2355th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2011.
What is Alice Schmidt's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the 800 m at the 2011 DN Galan. 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 Alice Schmidt 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 Alice Schmidt 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.
