Jeff Bezos is reportedly attempting to join the club of very rich Americans buying stakes in U.K. soccer teams.
Bezos, alongside others including Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, is looking to buy at least a 30% stake in the English soccer team Liverpool at a £1.35 billion valuation (around $1.8 billion), The Guardian reports.
It seems no billionaire portfolio is complete these days without a mega yacht and a sports team, so Bezos’ interest is not surprising.
There’s also something very romantic these days about owning an English soccer team after the success of TV shows like “Ted Lasso” and Ryan Reynolds’ FX show “Welcome to Wrexham” about his experience owning that English team.
So, with a net worth currently sitting at around $280 billion, perhaps it’s actually more than time that Bezos got himself a sports team.
