Publisher's Synopsis
Barry Diller has been a titan of industry-on a level with Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, and other giants-for over 50 years. But as visible as he has been, his private life, his private thoughts, his business insights have never been made public-until now, in this intimate, stunning, and extraordinary memoir. In what is sure to be one of the most fascinating and talked-about memoirs of the year, Barry Diller holds nothing back. Starting with his childhood in a very rich, but dysfunctional family in Beverly Hills; through his remarkable rise in the TV and movie business; his partnerships and battles with such business titans as Charles Bludhorn, Rupert Murdoch, Sumner Redstone, Marvin Davis, Brian Roberts; his struggles with his homosexuality; his relationship with and marriage to Diane Von Furstenberg; through his unparalleled success owning and running such companies as QVC, match.com, HomeAdvisor, and over 150 other Internet and media companies, as well as New York's Little Island and The High Line. His business insights are invaluable, his personal life is riveting, and his honesty is startling.
