Liverpool sell minority stake to Jeff Bezos consortium
Reports said the consortium acquired a roughly one-third stake in the Premier League club.
Liverpool Football Club's owners have decided to sell a minority stake in the Premier League club to a consortium that includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The deal values Liverpool at between £5 billion and £6 billion, making it Bezos's first investment in a sports team. The consortium is led by British-Indian millionaire Amit Bhatia, and also features Bezos and Eduardo Saverin, co-founder of Facebook.
Bhatia, who is QPR's former co-owner, will serve as the Premier League club's vice-chairman, while Bryan Baum, the founder of K5 Sports, will become a board member alongside Saverin's wife Elaine. FSG, the club's current owners, will retain control over decision-making at Anfield. The investment is expected to bolster Liverpool's long-term growth ambitions and provide valuable expertise from global business, technology, and investment sectors.
