Daniel Segers prize money
Daniel Segers has been paid $6,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1839th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's 400 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2026 | 400 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2025 | 400 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2025 | 400 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| All three | Men's 400 m | - | $6,500 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,500 is three 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.
The World Championships
What Daniel Segers did in Tokyo, 2025
Daniel Segers went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. He ran on the Belgium team that finished 4th in the men's 4 × 400 metres relay, $16,000 to the federation rather than to any one of the four. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Daniel Segers ran on
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 400 metres relay | 2nd | 2:58.19 | $20,000 |
The World Relays have paid $20,000 for the one team Daniel Segers ran on in Guangzhou 2025, and all of it went to Belgium rather than to the four who ran. The $6,500 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid him. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team he ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. He ran alongside Jonathan Sacoor, Robin Vanderbemden and Alexander Doom, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Daniel Segers won?
$6,500, which ranks 1839th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2025 and 2026.
What is Daniel Segers's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the 400 m at the 2025 AG Memorial Van Damme. 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 Daniel Segers 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 400 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.
What did Daniel Segers's World Relays teams win?
$20,000, across one paid final in Guangzhou 2025. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Daniel Segers or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Daniel Segers earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Relays 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.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Daniel Segers is Daniel Jasinski on $6,500, and one below Dmitrij Vaľukevič on $6,500. Daniel Segers is one of 60 Belgium athletes athletics has paid, and Belgium athletics prize money adds them up to $821,458 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's 400 m prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Daniel Segers has been paid in one of them. The biggest of the rest are men's 100 m, men's pole vault and men's 800 m. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and AG Memorial Van Damme has its own page across every edition of it. Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full final is on the men's 4 × 400 metres relay page. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relay is on the men's 4 × 400 metres relay page.
