Jeff Bezos consortium buys minority stake in Liverpool FC
The world’s third-richest man now has a stake in a football giant after a consortium, including Jeff Bezos, purchased a minority stake in Liverpool FC.
The investment is estimated to be between 30 per cent and one third of the club, with an option to become the majority stakeholder next year.
It marks the Amazon Chief Executive’s first investment in sports property, which is valued at $10 billion.
Businessman Amit Bhatia, who is part of the group, will become Liverpool’s vice chairman.
