A consortium spearheaded by Amit Bhatia, featuring the founders of Facebook and Amazon, finalized an investment agreement with Fenway Sports Group for a 30% stake in Liverpool FC, believed to be valued at approximately £1.4 billion ($1.9 billion) on Friday.
While former Queens Park Rangers director Bhatia ******* umes the new role of vice-chairman at Liverpool, it is understood that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, the consortium's most prominent figure, will not hold a seat on the restructured board.
Bezos ranks as the third-wealthiest individual on the planet with an estimated fortune of £204 billion ($276.1 billion) and serves as the lead investor from the K5 Sports fund within the 1892 Holdings group, which has acquired roughly a third of the shares at Anfield, as per the Liverpool Echo.

Instead, Bryan Baum, the managing partner of K5 Global, will represent Bezos on Liverpool's newly configured board of directors.
