Women's 400 m hurdles prize money
The Diamond League has paid $3,733,500 in the women's 400 m hurdles, to 114 athletes across 116 runnings of it, from 2010 to 2026. Femke Broeders-Bol has taken more of it than anyone, $400,000.
The series pays by finishing place and by nothing else, so a win here is worth what a win in any other discipline is worth: $10,000 at a 2026 series meeting, eight places paid, and nothing for ninth. Nine of the 116 runnings were at the series final, which pays on its own ladder: $30,000 for the win at the 2026 final. Two of the 116 runnings were Diamond+, which pays double.

Who won it, what the win paid and what the field took
What the women's 400 m hurdles paid each season
season running total
The line is the running total. A season's figure is the rate multiplied by how many meetings put the discipline on, so the columns move with the programme rather than with who turned up: 2024 ran it nine times and 2017 five times. Nobody has ever shared the win in it, so every figure in the win column is one athlete's cheque.

One column per ladder, and none of them is specific to this discipline: the women's 400 m hurdles is paid on the same card as the 100 m and the shot put at the same meeting. There is no appearance money in any of it, nothing for a record, and nothing at all for ninth place. The Diamond+ columns are the two of 116 runnings where the series doubled the discipline's rate for the day.

What does a win in the women's 400 m hurdles pay?
$10,000, and double that at a meeting where it is a Diamond+ discipline. It is the same figure in every discipline on a programme, so a win here pays exactly what a win in the 100 m pays.

Who has earned the most in the women's 400 m hurdles?

How far down the field does the women's 400 m hurdles pay?
