Where Jeff Bezos' net worth places him among Premier League's richest if he invests in Liverpool
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has been approached over a potential investment in Liverpool - and here is where his net worth ranks among the Premier League's richest.
Bezos has reportedly discussed joining a syndicate of investors led by former Queens Park Rangers co-owner Amit Bhatia, the son-in-law of billionaire steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal.
On Tuesday, a spokesperson for Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool's majority owners, confirmed the interest from Bhatia's consortium, stating: "An investment consortium led, managed, and represented by Amit Bhatia has expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club."
The 62-year-old has previously explored bids for the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders, but decided against pursuing either deal, and there are no guarantees he will in the Merseyside giants.

A source told Sky News that 'he is not certain to proceed with an investment' in Liverpool, although supporters will feel excited if he does.
Bezos has accumulated a staggering net worth of $256billion (£192bn) since founding Amazon in 1994, making him the fourth-richest man in the world behind Elon Musk and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
So, with all that said, here is where the Amazon and Blue Origin tycoon ranks among the Premier League's richest.
