The England international scored twice in Leicester City's 4-2 win over Watford at the King Power Stadium, his first goal in over a month but his eighth in the Premier League this season.
The 34-year-old now has 127 Premier League goals to his name, 93 of which have come since his 30th birthday.
Prior to Sunday's action, Wright was clear on this point, but Vardy has now matched his record, and it is only a matter of time before the Leicester man claims it for his own.
Vardy's 127 Premier League goals tie him for 14th all-time with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, ahead of Nicolas Anelka and Robbie Keane.
Vardy made his Premier League debut when he was 27 years and 232 days old and only scored five goals in his first season, demonstrating how dominant he has become since then.
According to Opta, only Wright, who began at the age of 28 years and 286 days, is among the 29 players who have scored over 100 Premier League goals.
'That first goal was classic, the second getting across the front post was brilliant,' Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said of Vardy after the win over Watford. He almost got in a couple of times, but his work rate was excellent.'
With the win over the Hornets, Leicester returned to the top half of the Premier League after a string of dismal defeats.
