Barry Diller is 84 and says he has no plans to retire: 'I have a motor inside me.'

Barry Diller, the 84-year-old media and tech executive, has stated that he has no plans to retire and remains eager to continue working as long as he can contribute to various projects. Diller, who has overseen significant transformations at companies like Paramount, Fox television network, and MGM Resorts, expressed his curiosity and readiness to adapt to technological advancements such as artificial intelligence.

His mindset is flexible, prepared to adjust his approach based on current events, rather than relying on past experiences. The layoffs of 195 employees at People Inc., the digital media company he runs, were attributed to a steady decline in their print business, prompting a shift towards digital growth. Diller emphasized that he is not driven by the concept of legacy and finds focusing on the past to be uninteresting.
