Shari Redstone, who two days ago sold Paramount Global to Skydance Media, touched down in Sun Valley, Idaho, Tuesday.

She joined other media and tech moguls including Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Disney’s Bob Iger, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and IAC’s Barry Diller, whose pursuit of Paramount foundered as Skydance closed the $8 billion deal on Sunday.

Perhaps Diller still harbors hope?

Over 160 private jets were scheduled to fly in Tuesday, crowding the Idaho resort’s tiny airport as today’s biggest industry players flew in for Allen & Co.’s annual “summer camp for billionaires.” Details and happenings of the invite-only, ultra-secretive event at the sprawling ski lodge are kept under lock and key from the public, but the annual conference has traditionally served as a hotbed for industry dealmaking.
