Consortium Including Jeff Bezos Acquires Minority Stake in Liverpool FC
A consortium led by Amit Bhatia, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, has acquired a roughly 30% minority stake in Liverpool Football Club from Fenway Sports Group (FSG). The deal values Liverpool at approximately $6 billion (around £5.5 billion). FSG retains majority ownership and operational control. Bhatia will become vice chairman and join the expanded board, while Bezos will remain a passive investor without a board seat. The transaction awaits regulatory approval and is not expected to affect Liverpool's current operations or transfer plans.
