Jeff Bezos joins Amit Bhatia-led consortium in £6b Liverpool FC minority stake deal
Liverpool owners agree to sell minority stake to consortium including Jeff Bezos
Liverpool's owners have approved the sale of a minority stake in the Premier League club to a consortium led by British-Indian millionaire Amit Bhatia, with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos joining as a key investor. The deal, valued at £5 billion to £6 billion, places the club's value at one-third of the stake acquired by the Bhatia-led group.
Bezos, worth $256 billion, is not expected to join Liverpool's expanded board, with Bhatia set to become the club's vice-chairman. The investment, managed by Bryan Baum's venture capital firm K5 Sports, is expected to support Liverpool's long-term growth ambitions, focusing on both the pitch and off it.
