Lisanne de Witte prize money
Lisanne de Witte has been paid $19,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 611th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the women's 400 m, the best of them 3rd.
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.

Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Müller Grand Prix Gateshead 2021 | 400 m | 7th | $750 |
| Anniversary Games 2021 | 400 m | 8th | $500 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2019 | 400 m | 3rd | $10,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2019 | 400 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| IAAF Diamond League Shanghai 2019 | 400 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2019 | 400 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2019 | 400 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All seven | Women's 400 m | — | $19,250 |
The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $19,250 is seven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Championships
What Lisanne de Witte did in Tokyo, 2025
Lisanne de Witte 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 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 Lisanne de Witte won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Women's 4 × 400 metres relay | Silver | — |
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.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $18,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Lisanne de Witte in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $19,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Lisanne de Witte won?
$19,250, which ranks 611th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2019 and 2021.
What is Lisanne de Witte's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 3rd in the 400 m at the 2019 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 Lisanne de Witte 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.
Is this everything Lisanne de Witte 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.
