Hulk Hogan once stashed millions in a secret “kayfabe account” his ex-wife Linda Hogan didn’t even know existed — and he had no clue how much was in it himself.

During the Brooke Hogan Asks to Be CUT From Hulk Hogan’s Will” episode on YouTube, Bubba the Love Sponge shared the story of discovering the hidden account while traveling with Hogan to Los Angeles. Hogan handed him a credit card tied to the mysterious stash and asked him to pull out just $500 — thinking that was all it had.

“He gives me this credit card and goes, ‘There’s this kayfabe account Linda doesn’t even know about, brother. I don’t know how much is in it… see if you can get $500 out of it.’”

Bubba went to a Bank of America ATM at the Tampa airport. He guessed the PIN using a couple of known digits and requested the $500 — but what printed out left him speechless. The balance on the receipt showed over $4.125 million.

“It spits out that little flimsy-ass paper, and I look at it… I’m like, ‘What?!’ I go to the Sunglass Hut and ask for a pen because I had to add commas — the number was that big. It said $4.125 million and change. Hogan thought there wasn’t even $500 in there. There was over $4 million.”

When Bubba told Hogan the account’s total, Hogan was shocked.

“I tell him, ‘Hogan, there’s $4.125 million and like 87 cents in there.’ And he goes, ‘For real?’ I said, ‘Yeah!’ And he goes, ‘Man, I gotta make sure I kiss that account. I didn’t even know!’”

According to Bubba, the account was tied to old merchandising deals between Hogan and Vince McMahon and was never disclosed to Linda. The card had a PIN that Hogan forgot, and it took Bubba’s lucky guess to unlock what turned out to be a hidden fortune.

Even as Hogan battled serious health problems this year and drama with family members, he had millions tucked away in an account no one knew about — not even himself.
