Jordan Wright Death: Former TOWIE Star’s Net Worth and Wealth Profile Amid Tragic Phuket Incident

Phuket, Thailand – March 19, 2026 – The sudden death of 33-year-old British reality TV personality Jordan Wright, best known for his appearances on The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) and Ex on the Beach, has prompted renewed interest in his professional background and financial standing.

Wright was found dead in a drainage canal near Bang Tao Beach in Phuket on March 14, 2026, in what authorities are treating as an unexplained incident pending autopsy results.

Wright rose to fame through reality television but transitioned away from the spotlight in recent years. After leaving TOWIE (where he appeared in series 22 and 23 in 2018), he rejoined the fire service before shifting careers into financial investment.

According to his LinkedIn profile and reports from outlets like the Daily Mail, he served as director of Hampton Gate Wealth, a London-based boutique firm specializing in alternative fixed income strategies for qualified investors.

This move into finance marked a significant pivot from his earlier roles as a firefighter, DJ, and TV personality.

Net Worth and Wealth

Estimates of Jordan Wright’s net worth vary due to his relatively low public profile in recent years and the private nature of his investment work.

Industry sources and celebrity wealth trackers place his net worth in the range of £200,000 to £500,000 (approximately $250,000 to $650,000 USD) at the time of his passing. This figure draws primarily from:

• Earnings from reality TV appearances (TOWIE and Ex on the Beach typically paid cast members modest per-episode fees, often in the low five figures total for a season).
• Income from his firefighting career and side ventures like DJing.
• Professional success in financial services through Hampton Gate Wealth, where he focused on high-net-worth client introductions and alternative investments.

Wright was not among the highest-earning reality stars, and his wealth was modest compared to long-running TOWIE alumni like Mark Wright (no relation) or Gemma Collins.

He had no widely reported major assets such as luxury properties, endorsements, or business empires. Friends and reports indicate he relocated to Thailand months earlier seeking a “new start,” living a relatively low-key lifestyle in Phuket.

Police continue to investigate the circumstances of his death, with CCTV showing him appearing restless outside his hotel (Coco Phuket Bangtao) shortly before discovery.

No signs of foul play have been reported, though toxicology and postmortem results from Vachira Phuket Hospital are awaited. The British Foreign Office is supporting his family.

Tributes from former co-stars, including ex-girlfriend Vicky Pattison, and fans have highlighted Wright’s charismatic personality and the shock of his untimely passing at such a young age.
