Liverpool's new backer: Jeff Bezos joins Amit Bhatia's investor group
After days of speculation, Jeff Bezos has confirmed his investment in Liverpool, with the English club officially announcing the arrival of a new investor consortium led by Amit Bhatia. The move marks a high‑profile entry into football for the Amazon founder and signals a fresh financial backing for the Premier League side.
The investment was widely anticipated, with rumours circulating for several days before the club’s formal statement. Liverpool’s hierarchy confirmed that the consortium will purchase a stake, though the exact proportion was not disclosed. Club officials emphasized that the new capital will support future projects on and off the pitch.
Amit Bhatia, who heads the investor group, is expected to play a key role in shaping the partnership. His involvement follows a trend of high‑net‑worth individuals seeking influence in English football. The announcement underscores Liverpool’s appeal to global investors seeking to associate with a historic Premier League brand.
