Family and Creditors Wrestling Over Who Gets the Most From Hulk Hogan’s $25 Million Estate

A battle royal is brewing over legendary pro wrestler Hulk Hogan’s massive $25 million estate, sources say, even as the iconic grappler was laid to rest in a somber funeral in Florida.

The ferocious smackdown could pit the 12-time world champion’s two adult children, Brooke, 37, and Nick, 35, against the Hulkamania star’s third and final wife, Sky Daily, 49, his first wife, Linda, 66 — and an army of creditors to whom he still owed dough, according to insiders.

Hogan, 71, real name Terry Gene Bollea, died July 24 after suffering a heart attack at his $11.5 million Clearwater, Fla., mansion following a recent series of health woes.

Sources say he left behind a string of lucrative businesses, including Hogan’s Beach Shop, Hogan’s Hangout and Real American Beer, as well as his Florida home and a portfolio of liquid assets.

In 2023, his long-estranged daughter — who became famous in her own right on the reality show Hogan Knows Best — asked Hulk’s business manager to remove her as a beneficiary of his estate after angrily cutting ties with her dad.

She skipped his celebrity-studded funeral at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, Fla., but can still lay claim to a portion of her dad’s property as an “interested party.”

Meanwhile, the Hulkster’s widow, Sky, is also entitled to a chunk of his fortune under Florida law.

“Even if Sky was left out of his estate and he didn’t update his trust since they married, she would still get a spousal elective share,” Florida estate specialist June Frederiksen explained to the U.S. Sun.

What’s more, Linda — to whom Hulk was married from 1983 to 2009 — was embroiled in a bitter legal battle with her ex-hubby over money at the time of his death.


Creditors further complicate the looming feud, adds the outlet, with the Hulkster having taken out a $2 million mortgage on his Clearwater home in November 2023, around the same time he was dragged into a messy lawsuit over unpaid fees to a Florida pool company.

“It’s a total fiasco,” one insider tells the National Enquirer. “The legal battle to come will likely dwarf any of the fights Hulk actually fought in his career.”

“It’s going to get ugly and bitter and very nasty — and probably drag on for years.”
