Clearwater, FL - Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, reportedly left his entire estate to his son, Nick Hogan.
According to court documents obtained by multiple outlets, the WWE Hall of Famer, who passed away on July 24th at age 71 from a heart attack caused by a form of leukemia, designated Nick as the sole beneficiary of assets valued at approximately $5 million.
Hogan’s will was initially executed in 2016 and amended several times between 2017 and 2023.
Following his death, Nick Hogan filed to serve as a co-personal representative of the estate to manage the distribution of assets.
Hogan’s daughter, Brooke Hogan, was reportedly removed from the will in 2023 and is not listed as a beneficiary.
While she was reportedly estranged from her father, Brooke shared an Instagram post after his death reflecting on their relationship, expressing that she felt a part of her spirit left with him and noting that he is now at peace.
Court records indicate that Hogan’s estate includes $200,000 in cryptocurrency, $799,000 in personal and intellectual property, and rights to publicity valued at $4 million.
An additional portion of the estate is linked to a potential medical malpractice claim.
Hogan’s widow, Melanie Sky Daily, is also not listed as a beneficiary but is reportedly planning a medical malpractice lawsuit against one of Hogan’s doctors.
Nick Hogan’s role as co-personal representative will give him authority over the estate’s assets, which primarily involve intellectual property, endorsements, and potential legal claims.
The estate reflects Hogan’s specific planning decisions and the legal structure of his assets at the time of his passing.
