Femke Bol prize money
Femke Bol has been paid $412,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 3rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 30 paid finishes in the women's 400 m hurdles and women's 400 m, 29 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 30 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $412,000 is 30 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.8% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Championships
What Femke Bol did in Tokyo, 2025
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 400 metres hurdles | 1st | 51.54 | $70,000 |
The 2025 World Championships paid Femke Bol $70,000 for one finish in Tokyo, against $412,000 from 30 Diamond League starts between 2021 and 2025. She ran on the Netherlands team that finished 2nd in the mixed 4 × 400 metres relay, $40,000 to the federation rather than to any one of the four. She ran on the Netherlands team that finished 3rd in the women's 4 × 400 metres relay, $20,000 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 Olympic Games
What Femke Bol won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Mixed 4 × 400 metres relay | Gold | — |
| Women's 4 × 400 metres relay | Silver | — |
| Women's 400 metres hurdles | Bronze | — |
The mixed 4 × 400 metres relay gold was worth $50,000 and was paid to the federation as a single cheque, with nothing published about how it was split between the runners. It is not hers and is not added to the $412,000 at the top of this page. The silver in the women's 4 × 400 metres relay and the bronze in the women's 400 metres hurdles paid nothing. Only a gold pays, so 97 of the 145 medals awarded on the athletics programme in Paris carried no money at all. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Femke Bol won?
$412,000, which ranks 3rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 30 paid finishes between 2021 and 2025.
What is Femke Bol's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the 400 m hurdles at the 2025 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Femke Bol 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 400 m hurdles 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 Femke Bol won?
29 of 30, worth $410,000 between them. Five of her appearances came at a final, which paid $150,000.
How much did Femke Bol win at the 2025 World Championships?
$70,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Femke Bol earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Championships 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 her, priced off the card it published.
Where to next

Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full finals are on the women's 400 metres hurdles, mixed 4 × 400 metres relay and women's 4 × 400 metres relay pages.
