Legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan’s demise on July 24, 2025, has left a big void in the hearts of his fans. While everyone is mourning his death at the age of 71, another debate has started on the internet about who will inherit his estimated USD 25 million fortune (Celebrity Net Worth). The legend accumulated his vast wealth through his wrestling career, endorsements, and a massive legal settlement. The three likely recipients are his third wife, Sky Daily, son, Nick, and estranged daughter, Brooke, from his first marriage. However, things are not simple because when it comes to the latter, she had a strained bond with her father for years.
Brooke is grieving her late father, Hulk Hogan’s demise despite their strained bond
Hulk Hogan and his daughter, Brooke, have an estranged bond that has been no secret from the fans. News reports after Hulk’s demise claimed that she is grieving her father’s passing, but took a surprising step in regard to her share in his wealth. According to a new report from TMZ, Brooke had asked to be removed from Hulk’s will back in 2023. A source revealed to the publication that she didn’t trust the people surrounding her father and didn’t desire to be a part of any chaos ensuing after his death.
The insider shared that Brooke’s only concern was about protecting her father from being taken advantage of. However, after constant disagreements, she contacted her financial manager and removed herself from his will. The Hogan Knows Best star wasn’t concerned about money; she is reportedly at peace with not getting a share of Hulk’s estate. However, she will get a small amount from a life insurance trust set up by her father, and she plans to use it for her children’s future and college education. For those unaware, Brooke had named one of her twins after her father in January 2025, by giving her the middle name Gene after Hulk’s real name.
Brooke Hogan once shared the reason for her estranged bond with her dad, Hulk Hogan
Brooke Hogan and Hulk were once one of the most admired father-daughter duos in the industry, especially during the 2000s. They worked together in Hogan Knows Best and WWE. However, their bond allegedly fell apart after Hulk parted ways with his first wife and Brooke’s mom, Linda, after a messy divorce in 2007. By 2023, Brooke didn’t have contact with her father, Hulk, or her mother. The latter once shared that they weren’t informed about her wedding or pregnancy. Sharing a statement about the reason for her decision, Brooke once wrote on Instagram:
“I have completely separate reasons for going no contact with each of my parents. No contact with my mom has nothing to do with my dad, and no contact with my father has nothing to do with my mother. This decision was made based purely on how they have each dealt with me my entire life.”
Hulk Hogan’s third wife, Sky Daily has taken control of his estate?
While Brooke might not get a piece of her father’s wealth, Hulk Hogan’s third wife, Sky Daily, could be a big beneficiary, according to Florida law. It ensures that spouses get at least 30 percent of their partner’s estate after their passing. Meanwhile, another report by The Bubba the Love Sponge Show, Sky, who is 25 years younger than Hulk, has locked down his estate within six hours of his passing. She has allegedly made important legal moves to protect his wealth, including his shares, music rights, real estate, and endorsements, which are a part of a trust allegedly accessible to her. Although there is no confirmation about the news, it has left his children’s claim on his wealth in legal uncertainty.
