World Darts Championship star Peter Wright has revealed that he lives off \u00a3212 per-week pocket money given to him by his wife. Wright says the winnings from his career go straight to his partner Jo, who budgets him a relatively tiny amount each week.<\/p>\n
The 53-year-old is a two-time world champion, winning darts’ biggest event in 2020 and 2022. But unlike many of his colleagues in the sport, he says he is unable to enjoy \u201clavish\u201d purchases.<\/p>\n
Jo – who is also Wright\u2019s manager – collects her husband\u2019s winnings and makes him a modest budget of \u00a3212 per week. He jokingly describes her as the \u201crichest manager in darts\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe? Lavish purchases? No, I don\u2019t get to,” he told The Sun newspaper.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was at a preview night when asked the question. Michael van Gerwen\u2019s bought a Rolls Royce or something like that and Michael Smith had bought something else and Gezzy (Gerwyn Price) had bought this and that.<\/p>\n

While Jo is the richest manager in darts!\u201d<\/p>\n Wright – known for his eccentric outfits and highlighter-coloured mohawks – does not feature at Alexandra Palace until Wednesday. Nicknamed \u2018Snakebite\u2019, the reigning European champion believes he can become the world champion.<\/p>\n His form dipped at the start of the year but having won the European Championship in October, Wright believes his fortune is starting to turn.<\/p>\n “I believe I can win it, I am not playing until December 20 so it gives me three weeks tinkering with my darts to make them 95 or 98 per cent perfect, that\u2019ll do,” he said earlier in December.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/4\/590x\/secondary\/Peter-Wright-darts-5118826.jpg?r=1702735316651\")
