Jeff Bezos 'holds talks about investing in Liverpool' as Amazon founder - and world's fourth richest man worth $257BILLION - considers joining bid for Premier League giants

Daily MailIndependentCenter5 hr. ago

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and the world's fourth-richest person, has reportedly discussed joining a consortium led by British-Indian businessman Amit Bhatia in seeking a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club. The consortium, which includes financiers and is backed by Amit Bhatia, who previously owned Queens Park Rangers, aims to acquire a stake in the Premier League club currently owned by Fenway Sports Group (FSG). FSG acquired Liverpool in 2010 for £300 million and has maintained the club's success without significant financial input, according to data from The Athletic. While no formal agreement has been reached, the potential investment would mirror a previous deal where FSG sold a stake to Dynasty. Bezos, who has previously considered purchasing NFL teams, has not yet committed to this opportunity.
