Jeff Bezos filed a Form 144 with the SEC on August 3, 2026, proposing to sell up to 15 million Amazon shares worth approximately $4.07 billion. Concurrently, Sky Sports reported that Bezos joined a consortium led by British Indian entrepreneur Amit Bhatia to acquire roughly a one-third stake in Liverpool Football Club, valued at about £1.35 billion. The deal values Liverpool at approximately £4.4 billion ($6 billion), with Fenway Sports Group retaining majority control. Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin is also part of the consortium. Since mid-2025, Bezos has liquidated approximately $9.7 billion in Amazon stock. The article notes that 13 of 20 Premier League clubs now have American shareholders, driven by rising valuations and commercial growth.
