Barry Diller: Who Knew, Gebunden

Klappentext

One of the most extraordinary business and personal success stories of our time.

Writing in his own singular voice, Barry Diller delivers both an astute and entertaining business memoir and a surprisingly frank coming-of-age story. After starting his career in the mailroom of the William Morris Agency, Diller went on to have one of the most extraordinary ascents in show business history, inventing the TV Movie of the Week for ABC at age twenty-seven, becoming CEO of Paramount Pictures at age thirty-two, and launching the Fox TV network at age forty-four.

Along the way, Diller oversaw the production of classic films such as Saturday Night Fever, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Grease, and hit TV shows such as The Simpsons, Married…with Children, and Cops. He successfully made the leap from chief executive to entrepreneur when he bought Home Shopping Network, founded IAC, and grew it into a multi-billion-dollar e-commerce business with such breakout brands as Match, Tinder, Angi, and Expedia.

Barry Diller’s book is about much more than business. It is a remarkably honest and entertaining account of his personal journey and a fascinating tour through show business and digital media.
