Draco's wife, Evelynn Anguis, is one of several children of an old blue-blood line. While she likely won't inherit large vasts of land and property, she still is rich in her own right.
Draco managed to seduce her under entirely false premises, pretending to be the last scion of an obscure noble family he didn't quite make up out of whole cloth, but whose history he has greatly embellished. A noble family he has absolutely no relation to.
To keep up appearances Draco needs to support a lavish lifestyle to not raise any suspicion, especially on part of Evelynn's parents.
While Draco has access to their shared accounts and Evelynn is not particularly careful with her spending, Draco always needs to have a convincing lie ready for his more lavish expenses.
Draco also needs to contribute some income to the household, since surely a nobleman of his pedigree has some income of his own. As such he runs a variety of scams and markets products of dubious quality to other conspiracy nuts.
While Draco initially wasn't particularly interested in conspiracy theories they have become a coping mechanism: he escapes from his daily woes to the fantasy land of elaborate conspiracy theories.
The stress of keeping his lies in line have driven Draco into drinking heavily.
