Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings donated $1.1 billion worth of his stake in the streaming company to a California-based charity that is popular with technology founders because it gives them tax breaks and privacy.

The Netflix executive chairman gave the shares to Silicon Valley Community Foundation, which had more than $10 billion in assets at the end of 2022. Previous donors have included Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, who gave more than $1 billion worth of Facebook stock a decade ago.
