Barry Diller, 84, Vows to Keep Running IAC and Expedia: 'I Have a Motor Inside Me'

Barry Diller, the 84-year-old chairman of IAC and Expedia, has no plans to retire, telling the Financial Times that he has a "motor inside" that keeps him going. Diller, who built his career at Paramount, Fox, and QVC before leading IAC's portfolio of digital brands, remains actively involved in strategic decisions across his companies. His continued leadership comes as IAC and Expedia navigate a competitive landscape in tech and travel, where Diller's experience is seen as both an asset and a point of debate about succession. The media mogul's refusal to step down underscores a broader trend of aging executives holding onto power, even as investors push for clarity on future leadership. For employees and shareholders, Diller's commitment signals stability but also raises questions about who will eventually take the reins. As Diller himself puts it, the drive to keep building shows no sign of slowing.
