HOW THIS IS CALCULATED
We take the shares Ted Sarandos reports owning in their most recent SEC Form 4 and multiply by the latest share price. That gives a stake value you can check against the filing itself. Everything beyond that stake — real estate, private holdings, cash, past compensation — is estimated or simply not public, and we say so rather than roll it into one number.
BIOGRAPHY
Ted Sarandos was born in New Jersey in 1964 and grew up in Phoenix, one of five children of an electrician, working at a video-rental store as a teenager and reading the back of every box. He attended community college but did not finish, learning the movie business instead from the ground up in video distribution.
Reed Hastings noticed his knack for content deals and hired him at Netflix in 2000 as its chief content officer. Sarandos built the company’s original-programming strategy, from House of Cards onward, and the binge-release model that reshaped television, becoming co-chief executive in 2020.

Share counts are the latest reported on SEC filings and change as the executive trades; the price is the last close, so the stake value moves with the market.
