The 46-year-old, who recently sold his business empire, valued at $71 million, to a Melbourne billionaire, had spoken in 2024 of his fear that his success could unravel. "When you've gone from nothing … to something like that, there's a bit of imposter syndrome, there's a fear that one day something could happen, the bubble could burst and the dream could be over," he told a New Zealand podcast.
According to reports, a Triple Zero call from his step-daughter on Saturday night described Wood allegedly strangling his wife, Snezana Wood. The call has brought his world crashing down, the reports say. Wood was subsequently charged and denied bail, and has been transferred to a correctional centre in Brisbane.
The reports note that Wood, a personal trainer and reality TV personality, had built his business from nothing. The domestic violence charges are allegations and the case will proceed through the courts. No further details of the alleged incident have been published.
