Nicola Philippaerts prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

2 seasons

A show jumping career does not climb the way a contract does. It moves with whichever horse is sound and in form, so a season with a top horse out of work looks like a collapse and is not one. H&M Chilli Willi alone accounts for 55.2% of everything Nicola Philippaerts has won.

Every figure is converted to sterling so the rounds can be added up: show jumping pays in the currency of wherever it is run, which is euros at most of the calendar, sterling at the British shows and Swiss francs at Geneva.

This is the legal destination of the money rather than a sponsor list. Where the owner is a syndicate or a stable the cheque goes to the company; where the rider's own name appears, they owned the horse and kept the lot.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money has Nicola Philippaerts won?

£37,162 across 5 paid rounds between 2018 and 2024, which ranks 97 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Nicola Philippaerts keep that money?

Not all of it, and often not most of it. A money prize in equestrian sport is awarded to the owner of the horse rather than to the rider, and the rider is paid a share of it under a private agreement, usually alongside a monthly fee for keeping the horse in work. A rider who owns the horse keeps the whole cheque.

What is Nicola Philippaerts's biggest prize?

£20,513 for finishing 8th in the Rolex Grand Prix at CHI Geneva in 2018.

Which horse has won Nicola Philippaerts the most?

H&M Chilli Willi, £20,513 across 1 paid rounds, which is 55.2% of everything Nicola Philippaerts has won.

Does Nicola Philippaerts have a salary?

No. Show jumping pays no wage at any level: there is no contract with a federation, no appearance money at most shows and no retainer. The money on this page is the whole of what the sport paid, and it was paid one round at a time.
