Dafne Schippers prize money
Dafne Schippers has been paid $271,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 60th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 47 paid finishes in the women's 200 m and women's 100 m, eleven of them wins.
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
The 47 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $271,000 is 47 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2016 is the biggest of them, $70,000 from nine starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Dafne Schippers in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $271,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Dafne Schippers won?
$271,000, which ranks 60th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 47 paid finishes between 2013 and 2021.
What is Dafne Schippers's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the 200 m at the 2018 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Dafne Schippers 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 win is worth the same in the women's 200 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Dafne Schippers won?
Eleven of 47, worth $110,000 between them. Five of her appearances came at a final, which paid $43,000.
Is this everything Dafne Schippers 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.
