According to CNBC, a group that includes Jeff Bezos has struck a deal with Fenway Sports Group to become minority owners in Liverpool Football Club, in a transaction valued at about $7.1 billion. The consortium, 1892 Holdings, will buy roughly one-third of the Premier League club and has an option to become the majority shareholder at a valuation of around $8 billion within the next 12 months. The largest contribution to the minority investment, more than $1 billion, comes from K5 Global, where Bezos is the lead investor. Amit Bhatia will serve as Liverpool's new vice chairman and join the club's expanded board, while Bezos will not take a board seat. The group also includes K5 Sports and EE Capital, the family office of Elaine and Eduardo Saverin.
