Imke Onnen prize money
Imke Onnen has been paid $13,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1390th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the women's high jump, the best of them 2nd.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Xiamen Diamond League 2026 | High jump | 9th | - |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2026 | High jump | 10th | - |
| London Athletics Meet 2025 | High jump | 5th | $2,500 |

| Bauhausgalan 2024 | High jump | 2nd | $6,000 |
| All seven | Women's high jump | - | $13,750 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $13,750 is five 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. Two of the seven starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $7,750 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Imke Onnen in 2026, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $13,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Imke Onnen won?
$13,750, which ranks 1390th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2024 and 2026.
What is Imke Onnen's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the high jump at the 2024 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Imke Onnen 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 high jump 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 Imke Onnen ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
How much has Imke Onnen won at the World Indoor Championships?
$4,000, from one paid final in Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Imke Onnen earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Indoor 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.
