Jeff Bezos might finally get his hands on a sports team

Jeff Bezos is reportedly close to buying a stake in Liverpool Football Club, marking what could be his first investment in a professional sports team. The potential deal would connect one of the world’s richest tech founders with one of the U.K.’s most prominent soccer clubs.

The move would underscore the growing appeal of elite sports franchises as scarce, globally valuable media assets. More tech billionaires are looking at sports ownership as a way to combine brand influence, streaming potential, and long-term asset appreciation.
