Lieke Klaver prize money
Lieke Klaver has been paid $98,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 142nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 33 paid finishes in the women's 400 m, 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 33 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $98,750 is 33 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Championships
What Lieke Klaver did in Tokyo, 2025
Lieke Klaver went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. 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 Ultimate Championship
What Lieke Klaver did in Budapest, 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 400 metres | 4th | 49.91 | — |
Lieke Klaver stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where she finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.
The World Indoor Championships
What Lieke Klaver did indoors
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 400 metres | 3rd | 51.02 | $10,000 |
The World Indoor Championships have paid Lieke Klaver $10,000 for one finish in Toruń 2026, against $98,750 from 33 Diamond League starts between 2021 and 2026. She ran on the Netherlands team that finished 2nd in the women's 4 × 400 metres relay in Toruń 2026, $20,000 to the team rather than to any one of the four. The indoor championships page holds all 53 finals across two editions and the $4,632,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Lieke Klaver ran on
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 4 × 400 metres relay | 5th | 3:23.12 | $6,000 |
The World Relays have paid $6,000 for the one team Lieke Klaver ran on in Gaborone 2026, and all of it went to the Netherlands rather than to the four who ran. The $98,750 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid her. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team she 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. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.
The Olympic Games
What Lieke Klaver won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Mixed 4 × 400 metres relay | Gold | — |
| Women's 4 × 400 metres relay | Silver | — |
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 $98,750 at the top of this page. The silver in the women's 4 × 400 metres relay 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 Lieke Klaver won?
$98,750, which ranks 142nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 33 paid finishes between 2021 and 2026.
What is Lieke Klaver's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 2nd in the Diamond+ 400 m at the 2025 Athletissima. 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 Lieke Klaver 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 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.
How much has Lieke Klaver won at the World Indoor Championships?
$10,000, from one paid final in Toruń 2026. 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.
What did Lieke Klaver's World Relays teams win?
$6,000, across one paid final in Gaborone 2026. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Lieke Klaver 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 Lieke Klaver earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Indoor Championships and 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 her, priced off the card it published.
