FSG will make a significant profit on their investment, but Liverpool's valuation is less than the price Roman Abramovich sold Chelsea for earlier this year. (Star)
You forget that Abramovich's sale price included the repayment of the 1.5 Billion "loan"* that he had lent the club over the course of his stewardship of it.
(* They were de facto being run under a considerable debt, - a model that FSG does not use to run LFC.
The Manc's sale price will be likewise inflated when the Glazers do decide to sell on since they too have place a large amount on debt on their club as well.
It would do the #FSGOUT folks to remember that fact, considering all the investment that's been done to the club (new stands, state-of-the-art new training ground) that wasn't done on debt))
But yes, the fact that Chelsea is a London club plays a large role in their larger valuation.
Land is just more expensive per capita and per hectare over there.
