Dafne Schippers prize money
Dafne Schippers has been paid $63,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 244th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from fourteen paid finishes in the women's 200 m and women's 100 m, two 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.

The fourteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $63,500 is fourteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $44,500 from ten 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 $63,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Dafne Schippers won?
$63,500, which ranks 244th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from fourteen paid finishes between 2017 and 2021.
What is Dafne Schippers's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 200 m at the 2019 Oslo 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 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
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?
Two of fourteen, worth $20,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $12,000.
Is this everything Dafne Schippers earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
