Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, who passed away leaving behind an estate valued at more than $25 million, is sparking new headlines—not only for the sheer size of his fortune but for the shocking family twist surrounding who will inherit it.
Despite being his only daughter, Brooke Hogan revealed in 2023 that she asked to be removed from her father’s will, citing her desire to avoid bitter family disputes and expressing distrust of certain people in his inner circle. In an emotional conversation on Bubba the Love Sponge’s podcast, Brooke admitted she made the decision while crying, texting her father’s assistant: “Take me off everything. I don’t want to be part of this.”
Now a mother of twins, Brooke said her perspective has shifted—explaining that money no longer matters compared to her peace of mind and her children’s well-being. Still, she is expected to benefit from a separate life insurance trust, ensuring her kids’ education and financial stability.
Under Florida law, Hogan’s widow Sky Daily, whom he married in 2023, will automatically be entitled to at least 30% of the estate regardless of the will or trust setup. That makes Sky one of the biggest beneficiaries of the WWE legend’s legacy, a factor many legal experts say could fuel tension among family members.
Hogan’s fortune includes real estate, business ventures, and royalties tied to his iconic wrestling brand. While no immediate legal battles have been reported, the decision by Brooke to step away has already become one of the most surprising celebrity estate developments of the year—raising questions about loyalty, legacy, and family peace in the face of wealth.
