TLDR: They charge subscriptions

277.65 million subscribers worldwide x $15 a user = 4.1 Billion in gross revenue per month

The cost of those shows is also partially covered by product placements within those shows/movies.

If you see a can of Coke or an Apple computer in a show you can guarantee the company paid for it to be there.
