Jessica Schilder prize money
Jessica Schilder has been paid $153,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 169th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 22 paid finishes in the women's shot put, five 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 22 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $153,250 is 22 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Four of the 26 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

The European Championships
The Gold Crown Jessica Schilder has won
| EVENT | MARK | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Women's shot put | 20.73 m | €50,000 |
Jessica Schilder has won one Gold Crown at the European Championships, worth €50,000, for the shot put at Birmingham 2026. A crown goes to the best performance in one of five event groups for men and five for women, so 79 of the 99 titles at Rome 2024 and Birmingham 2026 paid nothing. It is paid in euros and is not added to the $153,250 at the top of this page. From Silesia 2028 the crowns give way to a ladder paying €30,000 for every title. The European Championships page holds every crown, the athletes who won them and the ladder that replaces them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jessica Schilder won?
$153,250, which ranks 169th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 22 paid finishes between 2022 and 2026.
What is Jessica Schilder's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the shot put 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 Jessica Schilder 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 shot put 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 Jessica Schilder won?
Five of 26, worth $80,000 between them. Four of her appearances came at a final, which paid $45,000.
Has Jessica Schilder ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Four 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 did Jessica Schilder 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.
How much has Jessica Schilder won at the World Indoor Championships?
$28,000, from two paid finals across Toruń 2026 and 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 Jessica Schilder earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships, World Indoor Championships and European 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.
