Pay by CEO — and how the company did on their watch
Item 402(v) reports CEO pay per person, so each row below is one CEO's own disclosed pay next to the company's performance over the same years. A CEO is counted as serving a year when the filing reports a non-zero amount for them. NFLX discloses 3 CEOs across this window.
| CEO | Years | Pay actually earned, total | $100 over their tenure | Net income |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Greg Peters | FY2023–FY2025 | $214.1M | $150.47 → $173.40 | $5.41B → $10.98B |
| Ted Sarandos | FY2020–FY2025 | $358.3M | $167.11 → $173.40 | $2.76B → $10.98B |
| Reed Hastings | FY2020–FY2023 | $148.7M | $167.11 → $150.47 | $2.76B → $5.41B |
Pay-vs-performance disclosure began with FY2022 filings, so this window reaches back 6 fiscal years — there is no earlier CEO pay in the SEC's structured data.
