Barry Diller Sells Remaining Match Group Stakes

Billionaire founder and chairman of InterActiveCorp (IAC), Barry Diller, has sold his remaining stake in Match Group.

According to a report from Forbes, Diller sold off his entire stake in Match Group – which also includes dating apps Hinge, OkCupid and Match.com in its portfolio – for approximately $1.9 billion, the report said, citing Diller’s family office.

Diller held 16.1 million Match Group shares after the organisation split from IAC as a public company in July 2020, the report said. However, Match Group and Tinder have since engaged in legal battles, with the latter claiming to have been undervalued during acquisition, the report also said.

Diller avoided a turbulent period for Match Group by selling stock in 2021, with the stock’s value having fallen by nearly 60% in 2022, according to the report. The sale brings Diller’s net worth to approximately $4 billion, the report added.
