Inside Hulk Hogan’s Estate: Why His Daughter Won’t Inherit and Who Stands to Gain
The wrestling world was shaken by the death of Hulk Hogan at age 71, but even more shocking are the revelations unfolding around his estate. As his 8-figure fortune becomes the center of inheritance headlines, one thing is clear: not everyone close to the WWE icon will be cashing in.
According to TMZ, Hogan’s daughter, Brooke Hogan, voluntarily removed herself from his will in 2023, citing distrust toward those in her father’s inner circle. “She didn’t want any part of future legal drama,” sources said. Despite their estranged relationship, Brooke is reportedly grieving the loss — but has accepted being excluded from the inheritance, aside from a small life insurance trust earmarked for her children’s education.
Meanwhile, Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily, could legally claim up to 30% of his estate under Florida’s spousal elective share law — even if not named in the will.
With over $11 million in real estate, plus revenue from business ventures like Real American Beer, Hogan’s estate is protected through a web of personal and revocable trusts. But experts warn: if improperly funded, even the best plans could end up in court.
“Hogan’s final match may be fought in probate,” one estate advisor quipped.
