Brooke Hogan mourns the loss of her late father, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, who died of cardiac arrest in his house in Clearwater, Florida last week at the age of 71. But long before his death, the 36-year-old made a clear decision: in 2023 she had her will be deleted from his will at her own request.
As “TMZ” reports, the wrestler’s daughter asked Hulk Hogan’s financial manager to remove them from the will over a year ago. The reason for this was her deep distrust of her father’s surroundings. She feared that people from his close circle take him financially and did not want to be drawn into a possible inheritance dispute. According to the report, Brooke was never about money, but about the protection of her father: “Everything that Brooke ever wanted was to protect him from people who took advantage of him,” says her environment. However, the decision to cancel the will was made between father and daughter after years of disagreement.
No money from the estate
According to “TMZ”, Brooke Hogan will not inherit the estate of Hulk Hogan, i.e. neither shares in assets, trademark rights nor intellectual property. It only receives a sum of a small life insurance, in which it is entered as one of the beneficiaries. According to her, she wants to use this money for the college training of her children.
Open words about the tense relationship
In a moving Instagram post, Brooke Hogan spoke publicly about her father for the first time, her disappointment, but also her love: “My father’s blood flows through my veins. His eyes shine in my children. And our connection was never broken-not even in his last moments.” She does not want to know anything about a dumping: “My father and I never had a big argument. It was a number of private phone calls that nobody will ever hear or understand.” The actress describes how she and her husband Steven Olesky moved to Florida to support Hulk Hogan in old age. She accompanied him with around 25 operations until he suddenly didn’t want support.
