Meet The American Billionaire Running The Premier League's Liverpool FC

Mike Gordon, the U.S. billionaire who helps run Fenway Sports Group (FSG), has quietly become a central figure behind Liverpool FC’s rise. While co-owners John Henry and Tom Werner are far more visible, Gordon prefers anonymity despite owning about a 10% stake in FSG, valued by Forbes at roughly $1.4 billion. He joined FSG in 2001 for an about $700 million bid that brought the Red Sox, Fenway Park and NESN, later investing in assets including the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins in 2021. Gordon’s current focus is Liverpool, bought for about $475 million in 2010.
