After resigning as Chairman and CEO of Fox Inc., Barry Diller started establishing his own empire of interactive commerce companies. Under the banner of InterActiveCorp (IAC), Diller acquired some highly profitable on-line services like Expedia.com, Ticketmaster.com and Lendingtree.com, among others.
