"We began investing in MGM nearly six years ago because we believed it represented a rare kind of business: one with real world assets that AI cannot easily replicate or disintermediate and exceptional digital growth opportunities," Diller, chairman of People, said in a news release.
"We continue to believe the market materially undervalues the power and durability of MGM's assets," he said. "We believe MGM's management team is superb, and that there is a compelling opportunity to support MGM's next phase of growth and help unlock its full value."
