Michaela Meijer prize money
Michaela Meijer has been paid $3,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1335th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's pole vault, the best of them 5th.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anniversary Games 2021 | Pole vault | 8th | $500 |
| Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 2019 | Pole vault | 5th | $2,500 |
| Müller Anniversary Games 2019 | Pole vault | 9th | — |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2019 | Pole vault | 12th | — |
| All four | Women's pole vault | — | $3,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,000 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the four starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $2,500 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Michaela Meijer in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $3,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Michaela Meijer won?
$3,000, which ranks 1335th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2019 and 2021.
What is Michaela Meijer's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the pole vault at the 2019 Müller Grand Prix Birmingham. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Michaela Meijer 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 pole vault 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 Michaela Meijer 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. She are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Michaela Meijer 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.
