Bezos-Backed Consortium Buys Stake in Liverpool

Liverpool's owners have agreed to sell around one-third of the club to a consortium backed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

The deal will see Bezos participate in an investor group led by Amit Bhatia, the son-in-law of steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal and until recently a shareholder in Championship club Queens Park Rangers.

This marks Bezos' first foray into sports ownership, although he won't join Liverpool's board as Bhatia will be vice-chair.
