Netflix CEO Reed Hastings will get higher compensation in 2013 — $4 million after $2 million in 2012.
He chose his salary to be $2 million, up from $500,000, and his stock options allowance to be $2 million, the online streaming company said in a regulatory filing Friday.
Last year, he got stock options worth $1.5 million, half of what he had received in 2011. It was the lowest amount of options Hastings received since 2009. His salary back then stayed unchanged at $500,000.
Chief content officer Ted Sarandos’ total compensation rises to $4 million in 2013 from $2.8 million in 2012. He chose to get $2.2 million of that in salary. His stock options allowance remains unchanged at $1.8 million.
