Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group Holdings (FSG) have agreed to sell around a third of the club to a consortium including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
The deal will see Bezos participate in an investor group of a syndicate which is led by Amit Bhatia, the son-in-law of steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal and until recently a shareholder in Championship club Queens Park Rangers.
The deal installs some of the world’s wealthiest individuals as co-owners of the Reds, one of the most successful teams in the history of English football.
Bezos alone has a fortune estimated by Forbes at over £207 billion ($280 billion). This marks his first foray into sports ownership, although he will not join Liverpool’s board as Bhatia will be vice-chairman.

FSG added: “The consortium partners will work with FSG and the club’s leadership team to evaluate opportunities that enhance the club’s objectives on and off the pitch
“FSG continues to retain majority ownership and operational control of Liverpool.”
