Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is part of a billionaire consortium nearing a deal to acquire more than a 30% minority stake in Liverpool FC from Fenway Sports Group, according to Sky News. The group includes Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and is led by Amit Bhatia, son-in-law of Lakshmi Mittal. The investment could value Liverpool at around $6 billion, a dramatic rise from the £300 million FSG paid in 2010. FSG would remain the controlling shareholder. An announcement could come this week or next, the sources say. Bezos, with a net worth of over $280 billion per Forbes, would expand his sports portfolio. The deal underscores wealthy investors' growing interest in Premier League clubs.
