亚马逊创始人杰夫·贝索斯和Facebook联合创始人爱德华多·萨维林已加入由印度钢铁大亨之婿阿米特·巴蒂亚领导的财团，共同收购英超球队利物浦的少数股权[1]。该财团通过其旗下的1892控股公司与现有者芬威体育集团达成协议，持股比例超过30%，交易估值约60亿美元[1]。
利物浦现由芬威体育集团持有，该集团于2010年以3亿英镑收购了这支球队[1]。贝索斯和萨维林的加入为这次交易增添了显著的资本实力——贝索斯净资产约2800亿美元，是全球第四富豪，而萨维林的净资产约360亿美元[1]。利物浦在2020年赢得英超冠军，打破30年等待[1]，并于2019年赢得欧冠冠军[1]。
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin have joined a consortium acquiring a minority stake in English Premier League club Liverpool, according to an agreement reached between the club's current owner Fenway Sports Group and 1892 Holdings, the investment vehicle leading the transaction [1]. The consortium, headed by Indian steel magnate associate Amit Bhatia, will hold more than 30 percent of the club, with the deal valued at approximately $6 billion [1].
Bezos, who has a net worth of roughly $280 billion and ranks as the world's fourth richest person, and Saverin, worth an estimated $36 billion, represent high-profile additions to the ownership group [1]. Liverpool, which Fenway Sports Group purchased for £300 million in 2010, has achieved significant sporting success in recent years, winning the Premier League title in 2020 after a 30-year wait and capturing the European Champions League in 2019 [1].
