### Louis Rees-Zammit Makes Strategic Financial Move as He Attends Star-Studded Miami Grand Prix
Louis Rees-Zammit, the high-flying Welsh rugby star turned NFL hopeful, is making headlines off the pitch this week, after attending the high-profile Miami Grand Prix and announcing a significant development in his personal financial management.
Rees-Zammit, 24, who recently transitioned from rugby union to American football with the Jacksonville Jaguars, was spotted at the Formula One Miami event, held over the weekend, soaking up the electric atmosphere of the sport’s glitzy US showcase. A familiar face among Wales’ sports fans, he has been adapting to life stateside whilst building both his playing career and personal brand.
The former Gloucester Rugby winger made an appearance in the exclusive garage of McLaren F1 driver Oscar Piastri, sharing the experience with his brother Taylor. The pair, who are business partners in the ‘Savitar’ energy drink venture, seemed to enjoy the hospitality of the Paddock Club, mingling with the elite of sport and business and reflecting Rees-Zammit’s growing profile far beyond the rugby field.
Yet, it wasn’t just a weekend of sport and relaxation. Shortly before his appearance at the Grand Prix, Rees-Zammit took to Instagram to announce a new partnership with Mount Stuart Wealth Management, a financial advisory firm based in Cardiff and London. The move, he says, will see Mount Stuart overseeing his finances as he focuses on his demanding NFL career and the various business projects that are emerging as Rees-Zammit’s fame grows.
In a statement re-shared by Rees-Zammit, Mount Stuart expressed the importance of sound financial planning for athletes, stating: “When you’re at the top of your game, life moves fast — and so does your earning potential. For sports professionals like Louis Rees-Zammit, financial security isn’t just about the next contract; it’s about having a long-term plan that works on and off the field.” The firm highlighted the complex financial transitions faced by athletes, especially those moving between sports, and the need for bespoke financial guidance.
Rees-Zammit echoed these sentiments, noting that it was “great to have Codey [from Mount Stuart] fully focused on my financials, so I can focus on my career.” The switch seems timely, given the uncertainties that accompany career changes in elite sport and the need to secure a stable future beyond the playing years.
Having spent the NFL off-season back in Wales with family and friends, including a public appearance at the Wales v Ireland Six Nations match, Rees-Zammit recently returned to the United States ahead of pre-season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Although he did not feature in regular season games last season, he was a member of the 17-man practice squad. After an initial release from the team earlier in the year, the winger has now been re-signed and is thought to be highly motivated to break into the main squad for the upcoming campaign.
In addition to his sporting pursuits and business ventures, Rees-Zammit’s private life has also drawn attention. He has recently been linked with social media influencer Drew Knotts, with the pair attending the 51st Annual Strawberry Ball in Plant City, Florida. The couple have also reportedly enjoyed trips to Dubai together, with their relationship chronicled for followers on Instagram.
Rees-Zammit’s presence at the Miami Grand Prix, mingling in the high-octane environment of Formula One, underscores the broadening of his horizons both professionally and personally. While his primary focus remains on making his mark in the NFL, these latest developments reflect a young athlete keenly aware of the importance of life beyond the field.
This blend of wise financial decisions, entrepreneurial interests, and a vibrant personal life highlights the multifaceted approach required of modern sports stars. As Rees-Zammit embarks on the next phase of his career in America, many in both the sporting and business worlds will be watching his journey with keen interest.
