Career totals across all six competitions, not a single season. PAID is how many finishing places were paid for, which is a different count from wins: a second place in a Diamond League final and a world title are both one payment. 53 of these athletes have a page of their own here.

The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for the Netherlands on $2,252,167, 80.2% of the national total. Five of the six have paid the Netherlands. The Netherlands have won nothing at the World Cross Country Championships.
The ATHLETES column counts the people each competition paid, so it does not add up to 55: ten athletes have been paid by more than one of the six, and are counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total. Femke Broeders-Bol has been paid by three of them: the Diamond League, the World Championships and the Ultimate Championship.
