Barry Diller's legacy in shambles?
Published: Wednesday, January 30, 2008
-SDH Poor Barry Diller, the man only wants to be his own boss and call his own shots and be his own enemy, but as far back as even Barry can remember he has never been any of the above. In a New York Post article this morning, Barry Diller is said to have a chip on his shoulder about his legacy, can you blame him? Since his start in the media business, Barry Diller has been an underling who had to answer to someone. It is due to this fact that he never stuck around at any of the companies he helped build into the powerhouses they are today. He worked for the who is who in media like Rupert Murdoch, Brian Roberts and Marvin Davis. Will poor Barry lose yet another battle and see his dreams of being his own boss, running his own company, go down the drain for good? If John Malone, IAC/Interactive's big dog shareholder has his way, Barry's Legacy will probably be about his fight to leave a respectable legacy."This is essentially a redux version of most of Barry's career," said a source close to both men. "Just when he thinks he's reached a place where he can gain control all for himself, someone comes along to remind him that regardless of how far he drives the car, it's still Daddy's car to begin with."
