Brooke Hogan is still grieving the death of her father, Hulk Hogan, but when it comes to his massive estate, she made her decision long before he passed—and it was to walk away from all of it.
According to those close to Brooke via TMZ, she asked to be removed from her father’s will back in 2023. The reason? She didn’t trust anyone in Hulk’s inner circle and wanted no part of what she expected would turn into a legal and financial mess. Her priority, they say, was always protecting her dad.
“She didn’t trust a single person around him,” one source shared, noting that Brooke had spent years clashing with Hulk over the people in his orbit. Eventually, she contacted his financial manager herself and had her name taken off the will entirely.
Though Brooke is heartbroken that her father may not have fully believed she had his back, she’s at peace with not receiving a cut of his estate. “She’s never been about money,” said one insider. “She won’t be getting anything—and she’s totally okay with that.”
That said, Brooke will receive a modest amount from a separate life insurance trust Hulk had set up. She reportedly plans to put that money toward her kids’ college savings—a gesture that reflects her distance from the fortune and her focus on family.
What remains uncertain is who now controls Hulk Hogan’s vast estate, which likely includes trademarks, intellectual property, and other assets tied to one of the most iconic names in professional wrestling history.
