Natalia Kaczmarek prize money
Natalia Kaczmarek has been paid $98,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 143rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 20 paid finishes in the women's 400 m, three 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 20 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $98,750 is 20 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.

| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |

| Women's 400 metres | Bronze | — |
The bronze in the women's 400 metres 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 Natalia Kaczmarek won?
$98,750, which ranks 143rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 20 paid finishes between 2021 and 2024.
What is Natalia Kaczmarek's biggest Diamond League payday?
$12,000, for finishing 2nd in the 400 m at the 2023 Prefontaine Classic. 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 Natalia Kaczmarek 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 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 many Diamond League meetings has Natalia Kaczmarek won?
Three of 20, worth $30,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $16,500.
Is this everything Natalia Kaczmarek 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.
