It’s apparently a week for wealthy business moguls to buy sports clubs: Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder who is among the richest people in the world, is acquiring a minority equity stake in Liverpool Football Club, a team in the English Premiere League.

Fenway Sports Group, the majority owner of Liverpool FC, announced Friday that it sold a piece of the club’s ownership to K5 Sports, an investment consortium for which Bezos is the lead investor.
