'Shock, Amazon founder is owner?' World's richest Jeff Bezos to buy stake in EPL's Liverpool; existing major shareholder to participate in consortium for 30% stake sale

Jeff Bezos, the founder of tech giant Amazon and one of the world's richest individuals, is reportedly considering a major investment in English football club Liverpool. According to Forbes, Bezos, who holds an estimated personal fortune of $257 billion, ranks as the third wealthiest person globally.

The potential acquisition comes as Liverpool's current ownership, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), is in the process of selling its shares. Bezos is expected to purchase a substantial stake in the club, positioning himself as a key figure in its future ownership structure.

This move could mark a significant shift for Liverpool, potentially bringing substantial financial backing and a new strategic direction under the stewardship of the tech mogul. The deal is anticipated to be finalized before the start of the 2026-2027 Premier League season, signaling a new era for the storied club.
