Elise Vanderelst prize money
Elise Vanderelst has been paid $750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1963rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the women's 1500 m, women's 5000 m and women's mile, and it was 7th.
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 one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $750 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Eight of the nine starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $750 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Elise Vanderelst in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Elise Vanderelst won?
$750, which ranks 1963rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish between 2021 and 2025.
What is Elise Vanderelst's biggest Diamond League payday?
$750, for finishing 7th in the 1500 m at the 2021 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 7th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Elise Vanderelst 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 1500 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.
Has Elise Vanderelst ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Eight times. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. She are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Elise Vanderelst 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.
