HULK Hogan’s will has only confirmed the family feud that became a top story in the final years of the WWE icon’s life.
A new report has revealed the amount of money that the late Hogan left behind.
Hogan died at 71 in July after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Just days before his death, the 71-year-old and his daughter, Brooke Hogan, shared a short but emotional conversation after years of not talking.
Recently, Hogan’s son, Nick, revealed that the wrestling legend had left behind $5 million in assets, per court documents filed after his death.
The documents, filed by Nick and received by US Weekly, also uncovered that Hulk didn’t list Brooke as a beneficiary to his estate.
Instead, Nick is the sole beneficiary of his father’s estate, and Hulk’s widow and third wife, Melanie Sky Daily, is listed as his surviving spouse.
The docs reveal that the wrestler left behind $2000 in cryptocurrency, about $800,000 in person and intellectual property, publicity rights valued at $4 million, and a potential medical malpractice lawsuit with a value that has yet to be confirmed.
But Nick didn’t list his dad’s real estate portfolio in the documents.
Nick and Brooke filed new documents to be named the no-personal representatives of their father’s estate alongside Hogan’s financial advisor, Terry McCoy, on Tuesday.
Hulk was known to own two properties alongside each other in Clearwater, Florida, with an estimated combined value of $11 million.
The paperwork also revealed that Nick claimed his dad made a will in 2016 and amended it four times, with the last adjustment occurring in July 2023.
The 37-year-old Brooke reportedly asked to be taken off her father’s will in 2023 because she didn’t trust the people around him and didn’t want to get caught in a financial battle when he passed.
Brooke is married to former NHL player Steve Oleksy.
Five days after the news of Hogan’s passing was announced, she posted a long message on social media, opening up about their relationship.
“My father and I never “fought,” Brooke wrote on Instagram.
“It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand.”
Last month, Brooke revealed she felt Hogan was starting to cut her off, saying he no longer wanted help from her despite his health problems.
“We’d been through almost 25 surgeries together, and all of a sudden he didn’t want me at all surgeries,” she said.
In March, months before Hulk’s death, Brooke spoke about the relationship with her parents after she had become estranged from both.
She explained experiences in her childhood “robbed” her of “self esteem” and “confidence.”
“It took me many years to figure out the things that were seemingly done ‘for me’ really benefited someone else in a greater capacity.”
She claimed to have received texts from family members with “unbelievably hurtful words” that “cannot be forgiven.”
“My family is very skilled at war. I so badly wanted to see good in them, protect, help, and start anew—just to be disrespected again and again. I longed for a normal family, but it never came to fruition.
