The Hollywood mogul, his gay lovers — and his fashion icon wife
B arry Diller sits at one end of an elegant conference room in the headquarters of his media empire, fielding questions about his sex life. 'I've been doing this now for about two weeks,' he says. His voice, a deep baritone, is incredulous. 'From the first hour, the first day, it's, 'Is he gay? Now is he?' ' Diller is 83 and worth $4.6 billion (£3.4 billion), according to Forbes. He was a Hollywood wunderkind who became, at 32, the head of Paramount Pictures. He later ran Twentieth Century Fox and founded, with Rupert Murdoch, the Fox television network. Then he became a mogul in his own right, taking over television networks and engaging in rollicking battles with rivals for control of Hollywood studios. From this conference room, high in his white-glass HQ, you can see the hills and dells of an island on stilts that he built in the Hudson River as a new public park. It changed the shape of Manhattan.

Billionaire Barry Diller - married to Diane von Fürstenberg - comes out in new memoir
MEMOIR Who Knew Barry Diller Simon and Schuster, $59.99 Public figures still sometimes save weighty admissions about their lives for their autobiographies. Barry Diller, the billionaire media mogul and chairman of Expedia, has used his to do just that: come out of the closet. A former CEO of Paramount Pictures, Diller hid his sexual orientation for decades, despite persistent rumours to the contrary. A high-profile marriage to fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg helped quell some speculation but the threat of being outed was still like an 'anvil hanging … over my head'. In Who Knew, the 83-year-old publicly acknowledges his sexuality for the first time. Diller admits that he has long known that he is gay but hid the truth to preserve his career ambitions and avoid public shaming. As for wife von Fürstenberg, she remains a rare romantic outlier and the lasting 'bedrock of my life'. The memoir now reveals this hidden personal history and also shares his business acumen with other aspiring entrepreneurs. Diller was born of privilege but suffered a dysfunctional family life, one where his mother would dispense sleeping tablets and a heroin-addicted brother beat him. The basement of talent agency William Morris was a sanctuary where its cabinets of archived correspondence were a way to 'read … through the history of show business'. Good fortune, as it happens, was often looking out for the eager student of Hollywood's history. First, a lucrative posting at the television network ABC to help program films for the small screen. An enterprising thinker, Diller believed networks should make films for the tube too, soon transforming the station's profile thanks to his successful made-for-TV movies.
