Hulk Hogan left behind less than $5 million in assets, none of which will go to his estranged daughter Brooke, according to new bombshell reporting in the wake of the wrestling legend's death in July.
As the late WWE star's son Nick explained in court files obtained by Us Weekly, Hulk did not list Brooke as a beneficiary to his estate in his will – a document that was amended four times, most recently in 2023. Instead, Nick is the sole beneficiary of his father's estate while Hulk's widow and third wife, Melanie Sky Daily, is listed as his surviving spouse.
Hulk left behind $799,000 in personal and intellectual property, $200,000 in cryptocurrency, as well as his right to publicity, estimated to be worth $4 million, according to Us Weekly.
There is also a reported unknown value for a potential medical malpractice lawsuit, which Daily is said to be considering following a neck surgery she believes contributed to Hulk's death, according to multiple reports.
The WWE legend died at 71 in July after suffering fatal cardiac arrest. Brooke revealed shortly after that she 'had to step away to protect my heart' in the final two years of his life.
And not only did she remove herself from his everyday life, she also removed herself from his will.
The 37-year-old, who is married to former NHL player Steven Oleksy, feared being caught up in a bitter financial battle in the wake of her father's death, according to TMZ.
Brooke reportedly didn't trust anyone in Hogan's inner circle and asked to be removed as a beneficiary of his estate in 2023 - the same year as her final conversation with the wrestling icon.
