Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, has acquired a 30% stake in Liverpool Football Club through K5 Sports, a fund managed by Amit Bhatia and Elaine Saverin. The deal, valued at £1.65 billion or €1.93 billion, comes from 1892 Holdings, a new investment vehicle led by Bhatia. The Times reports the value of Bezos' stake at £1.65 billion, raising the club's implicit valuation to £5.5 billion.
FSG, the club's majority owner since 2010, will continue to hold control and operate the club, while Bezos will not have a seat on the board. The investment comes from K5 Sports, K5 Global, EE Capital, and Forbes estimates Bezos' fortune at $271.7 billion. The acquisition raises the club's valuation by approximately 18 times the price FSG paid for it 16 years ago.
