Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly part of a consortium that is acquiring around 30% of Liverpool FC. The deal also involves Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, who is ranked 56th on Forbes's billionaires list.
This latest investment values the Premier League club at £4.4 billion. Current owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) purchased Liverpool FC in 2010 for £300 million.
The consortium's involvement marks a significant financial development for the club, though some express concern about the increasing influence of venture capitalists in football.
