It is understood Fenway Sports Group has sold around one third of the Reds in a deal first revealed by Sky News City editor Mark Kleinman, which values the club at more than $7bn (£5.2bn).
Completing one of the richest sports deals ever is a sign of the club's resurgence during 16 years of Fenway's ownership.
The owners of baseball's Boston Red Sox, who remain in overall control of Liverpool, paid only £300m when the Anfield side was in financial distress.
The incoming 1892 Holdings consortium is led by Amit Bhatia, who sold his stake in Queens Park Rangers recently to buy into Liverpool.
He is backed by the wealth of his father-in-law, steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, and will become vice chairman of Liverpool.
Mr Bhatia said: "We have the utmost respect and admiration for FSG as owners and for everything they have achieved at Anfield.
"To be welcomed as a partner in a club of this stature is a huge privilege. We are making this investment because we believe deeply in Liverpool and its leadership, and we look forward to supporting the club's continued success for years to come."
Mr Bhatia will be joining the board along with two other members of the consortium - Elaine Saverin, whose husband Eduardo is one of the co-founders of Facebook, and entrepreneur Bryan Baum.
Mr Bezos - whose fortune is estimated by Forbes to be over $280bn - will not be joining the board.
Football authorities, including the new regulator, still need to approve the investors to complete the deal.
Liverpool have not been short of cash, spending around £500m signing new players over the past year.
With Mr Bezos buying a stake, fans will see the possibility of having a mega-rich tycoon as owner one day, but FSG remains the majority owner.

FSG president Mike Gordon said: "Liverpool has always been built by thinking beyond one season and making decisions with the club's long-term interests in mind.
"That approach continues to attract interest from respected investors and business leaders around the world.
"As we considered this opportunity, it became clear that Amit and the consortium shared our long-term philosophy and appreciation for what makes Liverpool special.
"Their experience and perspective will complement the strong foundation already in place, and we look forward to working together."
Liverpool are a week away from beginning the new Premier League season with Andoni Iraola leading the bid to regain the title after Arne Slot was sacked in May despite winning the trophy a year earlier.
Glyn Razzell was convicted in November 2003 of murdering 41-year-old mother-of-four Linda Razzell, who disappeared on her way to work at Swindon College, Wiltshire, the previous year amid divorce proceedings.
Their daughter Catherine Razzell told Sky News after Friday's ruling that his decision not to reveal the location of her remains means "there is no peace for us", adding he was "continuing to do our family harm".
The Parole Board ruled three times from 2019 that Razzell, 66, should remain behind bars, but in April decided he could be released on licence.
This was despite it being required to consider an inmate's refusal to reveal where their victim's remains are.
The Ministry of Justice referred the board's decision to the High Court, arguing it should be reversed on the basis it could undermine public confidence.
After a two-day hearing over the legal challenge, the court has ruled Razzell must stay behind bars.
Catherine Razzell told Sky News her father "still to this day has demonstrated very little engagement with rehabilitative processes".
"We still don't know where our mother's body is," she said. "And so it was a very difficult day when we heard that, despite those factors, he'd been released."
Ms Razzell added her family "will always hope" that one day they will "get the truth that we deserve".
In a statement following the High Court ruling, Ms Razzell said the decision was a "relief" to her and her family, and that her father's continuing decision not to disclose the location of the remains was "cruel".
She said: "By choosing to withhold the only information that could provide us with some comfort and closure, and preventing us from being able to hold a funeral for our much-loved mother, he is clearly demonstrating he is still abusive - retaining power over the situation."
In her ruling, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said she was "not satisfied that it is no longer necessary for the protection of the public that Glyn Razzell be confined".
She said: "I am not persuaded that the risk has diminished to such a level that offender management is capable of keeping the public safe if the defendant is released."
She also said that the plan to manage Razzell's release "relies on trust that has not been earned".
What is Helen's Law?
The obligation to consider a convict's refusal to reveal the location of remains is known as "Helen's Law", after Helen McCourt.
She was killed in 1988 but her murderer, Ian Simms, never disclosed where he put her body. He was released in 2020 and died in 2022.
Razzell, of Crewkerne, Somerset, denied murdering his estranged wife but was convicted after traces of her blood were found in a car he had borrowed.
Her body has never been recovered but he was sentenced to a minimum of 16 years and for the last nine years he's been in an open prison.
The Parole Board said he is no longer a danger and not revealing where the body is cannot be a bar to releasing him.

However, government lawyers told the court he is still a danger. Ms Razzell's family argued he should not be released until he reveals the whereabouts of her remains.
Razzell lost a parole bid three times before his latest hearing, including in 2021 when he became the first person to be denied under Helen's Law.
Appearing via video link at the High Court on Tuesday, Linda Razzell's partner at the time she was killed, Greg Worrall, said: "We have rebuilt our lives based on the fact [Razzell] cannot harm us any more."
He said that Mrs Razzell's family had "picked up the pieces of our shattered lives" with the support of friends and family, and "found love and purpose in our new lives" despite a "sadness which will always be there".
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced the charges against Steven Sansom, 47, and Adam Watson, 39, following an incident at Belmarsh Prison in London.
The incident involves Sharif, who is serving a life sentence at the Category A prison in Thamesmead, according the Press Association.
Daren Streeter, deputy chief crown prosecutor with CPS London, said the decision had been made "to charge Steven Sansom and Adam Watson with attempted murder in connection with an incident at HMP Belmarsh in January 2025".
He added: "Our prosecutors have worked closely with the Metropolitan Police to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to court and pursue criminal proceedings."
Sky News reported at the time of the alleged offence that Sharif was understood to have suffered slashes to his face and body, requiring stitches.
Sansom and Watson will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 26 August for a first hearing.
In December 2024, Sharif was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 40 years for murdering 10-year-old Sara after years of abuse.
The court heard that she suffered "unimaginable pain, misery and anxiety" as she was repeatedly beaten, burned, bitten, and restrained at the family home in Woking, Surrey.
In a televised sentencing at the Old Bailey on 17 December 2024, Mr Justice Cavanagh said Sara's death "was the culmination of years of neglect, frequent assaults and what can only be described as torture", mainly at the hands of Sharif.

The senior judge said that Sara's "despicable treatment" took place in "plain sight and in front of the rest of the family".
He told Sharif: "You treated her in such a way because you considered it your right to impose harsh discipline on her.
"Sara was a brave, feisty and spirited child. She was not submissive as you wanted her to be. She stood up to you."
Europe's highest and most active volcano started its latest activity in Sicily on 6 August, with experts noting an unusual amount of ash is being spewed out.
It means flights have been suspended at Catania Fontanarossa Airport on the Italian island, and that is set to remain the case until 2am on Saturday (1am in the UK), airport operator SAC said.
About 400 departures were cancelled between 8 and 11 August, with a further 52 axed on Wednesday, according to flight news outlet Aerospace, citing figures published by SAC.
It added that, counting cancelled arrivals to Catania, around 700 flights have been lost to the volcanic activity.
Etna frequently disrupts operations at Catania airport. An eruption was recorded at the volcano in July from a rupture at about 3,000m of altitude.
Marco Viccaro, president of the Italian Volcanological Association, said earlier in the week, however, that the activity at Etna is more energetic than previous episodes and is continuing in a sustained way.
"This suggests that deeper, gas-rich magma is playing a more active role, making the fragmentation process more efficient and leading to increased ash production," he said.

The impact of the latest eruption was felt beyond Catania, with flight cancellations and significant delays reported in Malta as well as in Sicilian airport Comiso.
The veteran politician, who was deputy Labour leader under Gordon Brown, explained on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast how the process of investigating the Reform leader will now continue after he won the Clacton by-election today.
Mr Farage resigned as Clacton's MP over scrutiny surrounding the £5m he was given by Thailand-based crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne before he decided to stand to become an MP in 2024. He has maintained it was for personal reasons - namely security - and not political, which is allowed under the rules.

He said he wanted the people of Clacton to decide if they still had faith in him, and declared that they did after he won the by-election his resignation triggered with a larger majority than in 2024.
The parliamentary standards commissioner had to pause the investigation into whether Mr Farage had broken Commons rules by failing to declare the money when he resigned, but shortly after he won the by-election, it was announced the inquiry has been resumed - in keeping with the rules.
Baroness Harman said: "The standards commissioner will decide whether or not it's a breach of the code - I would think it's almost inevitable it is, and almost inevitable that he would decide it's a serious breach.
"I think it's most likely the standards commissioner would propose a sanction which is more than a 10-day suspension from the Commons - which would trigger the possibility of a recall petition, where if 10% of the voters in Clacton vote for a recall petition that will trigger another by-election."
She added she thinks 10% would be reached judging by the 26.7% of voters who chose Count Binface rather than Mr Farage in this week's by-election.
And Baroness Harman said she thinks all the main parties would stand a candidate, unlike this time when they boycotted it.
"I think at that point it will have been established that he has broken the rules seriously in relation to trying to keep this £5m secret, that the voters in Clacton, if they re-elect him don't care about that," she said.
"But I think voters in other parts of the country might not agree with the voters of Clacton and might think this man is not suitable to be prime minister."
Pollster Luke Tryl, executive director of More in Common, also told the podcast there is a danger for Mr Farage in accepting the £5m in that people will see him as "the same as the rest of the political class", when he has tried to appear anti-establishment.
He added: "I think that the danger of this £5m is that people compare it to things like the freebies, they compare it to some of those, I mean, I've had groups where people have compared it to the PPE scandal, and they just start to go, 'oh, goodness, this is going to be more of the same as well'."
