Brooke Hogan Walks Away From Hulk Hogan’s Estate, Cites Trust Issues and Peace of Mind
In a move that has stunned both fans and insiders, Brooke Hogan—the daughter of late wrestling legend Hulk Hogan—has voluntarily removed herself from her father’s will and will receive nothing from his sizable estate. According to TMZ, Brooke made the request back in 2023, long before the wrestling icon’s death on July 24. The reason? A deep-seated mistrust of those surrounding her father and a desire to avoid becoming entangled in what she feared would become a messy and painful inheritance battle.
“Brooke never cared about the money,” said a source close to the family. “She was more concerned about protecting her dad from people she believed were taking advantage of him.” Despite years of tension between them, the decision wasn’t made out of bitterness—it was about maintaining peace of mind.
A Quiet Goodbye
Although their relationship had been strained in recent years, Brooke Hogan and her father Hulk Hogan reportedly shared a tender final conversation just weeks before his passing. According to sources, Brooke Hogan told him she loved him and urged him to slow down and focus on his health. In a rare moment of vulnerability, Hulk Hogan responded with a soft apology—one that Brooke Hogan took to heart.
“She’s grateful for that final talk,” a family representative shared. “It gave her peace.”
A Life Without the Legacy
While Brooke Hogan won’t inherit any part of Hulk Hogan’s estate—reportedly valued in the tens of millions—Brooke will receive a modest payout from a life insurance trust, which she plans to use for her children’s future education.
The estate’s primary beneficiaries remain unknown, as details surrounding Hulk Hogan’s will, trademarks, and intellectual property continue to be handled privately. His current wife, Sky Daily, and son, Nick Hogan, are believed to be involved in estate discussions.

Beyond the Ring
Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, was not just a professional wrestler—he was a global phenomenon. From WrestleMania to reality TV, he redefined the entertainment value of the wrestling world. Despite family drama, he remained an enduring icon of sports entertainment.
Brooke Hogan’s decision to walk away from his wealth speaks volumes about her values. In an industry often marred by greed and legacy disputes, she’s taking a different path—one guided by emotional closure rather than financial gain.
“I just wanted peace,” Brooke reportedly told friends.
