Richard Giannotti, born on August 9, 1983, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is a former professional baseball player and current financial advisor. He attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School, where his athletic talents—particularly in baseball—earned him a full scholarship to the University of Miami. There, he pursued and completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.
Giannotti’s father, also named Richard Giannotti, was a former FBI agent who worked on several notable criminal cases in the Miami area, which contributed to the family's high public profile in Florida.
In 2004, Richard Giannotti was drafted by the Anaheim Angels (now known as the Los Angeles Angels), marking the beginning of his nine-year professional baseball career. During his time in the sport, he played for multiple teams, including the Los Angeles Angels' minor league affiliates and the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs in the independent Atlantic League. He is sometimes mistakenly linked with the St. Louis Cardinals, but there is no verified record of him having played for that organization.
After retiring from baseball, Giannotti explored entrepreneurship. In 2008, he co-founded Bubucheek Clothing Company, a venture into fashion retail. However, he exited the company after six years to pursue other professional interests.
In 2014, Giannotti joined Global Wealth Management, a financial services firm, working as a financial advisor. Leveraging his experience as a professional athlete, he eventually became the President of the firm's Athlete Asset Management Division, which focuses on providing specialized financial planning services to current and former athletes.
