Item 1.   Security and Issuer.

     This Amendment to Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of Keith E. Lindner relative to the no par value Common Stock ("Common Stock") issued by American Financial Group, Inc. (referred to herein as "AFG"). Items not included in this Amendment are either not amended or are not applicable.

     The principal executive offices of AFG are located at One East Fourth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is amended to include the following:

On July 18, 2007, the Reporting Person entered into an agreement pursuant to which he transferred dispositive power over 1,152,009 shares of AFG Common Stock, held in a limited liability company, to a third party. As a result, the Reporting Person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of a class of AFG equity voting securities. Consequently, no further filings on Schedule 13D will be made unless such ownership level is exceeded.

     As of July 18, 2007, the Reporting Person beneficially owned 5,791,516 shares (or approximately 4.9% of the outstanding shares) of AFG Common Stock, which amount includes 2,831,547 shares held in a trust over which he shares voting and dispositive power, 5,422 shares held in a trust over which his spouse shares voting and dispositive power, 511 shares held in a trust over which he shares voting and dispositive power, 511 shares held in a trust over which his spouse shares voting and dispositive power, 866,826 shares held in trust over which his wife holds dispositive power, 338 shares held in the Issuer's retirement plan over which shares he holds voting and dispositive power, and 2,086,361 shares which are held in various trusts for the benefit of certain relatives, over which Mr. Lindner has sole voting and dispositive power but no financial interest.

     As of July 18, 2007, and within the prior 60-day period, other than as reported herein, the Reporting Person did not acquire or dispose of shares of AFG Common Stock.
