Billionaires at Anfield! Bezos officially becomes Liverpool co-owner

Fenway Sports Group has officially confirmed the sale of a 30% stake in Liverpool to a consortium featuring Jeff Bezos.

Details: The consortium, 1892 Holdings—named after the club’s founding year—is led by former QPR co-owner Amit Bhatia, son-in-law of steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal. Bezos has become the lead investor in the K5 Sports fund, injecting more than €865 million, with the entire share sale valued at €1.93 billion. At the same time, FSG, which bought the club in 2010 for just £300 million, retains the controlling stake and operational management.

The structure of the new board of directors is already set: Bhatia will become the club's vice-president, while board seats will also go to Elaine, wife of Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, and K5 Global head Brian Baum. Bezos himself will remain a passive investor without a board seat. The deal values Liverpool at around £5.5 billion, making it one of the largest investments in the history of English football.

FSG president Mike Gordon explained the choice of partners simply: the consortium shares the club’s philosophy and long-term vision. For the 20-time English champions, this is a massive financial boost ahead of the new season, which the Reds will kick off on August 23 away at Newcastle.
