Jeff Bezos part of Amit Bhatia’s consortium trying to buy Liverpool
British-Indian billionaire Amit Bhatia, a director and co-owner of Queens Park Rangers for 18 years, is part of a consortium led by Lakshmi Mittal seeking a significant stake in Liverpool Football Club. The group, which also includes Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, aims to acquire around 30 percent of the Premier League giants, as per the BBC.
Bezos, one of the wealthiest individuals globally with an estimated net worth of $256 billion, is joining high-profile investors such as former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone and motorsport big shot Flavio Briatore. The consortium is reportedly closing in on a deal to buy a third of Liverpool's shares, with an announcement potentially made this week or the next.
Liverpool, currently the fourth-most valuable club in the world, is valued at £4.4bn ($6bn) by the investors.
