In a significant development concerning the estate of WWE legend Hulk Hogan, it has been confirmed that his daughter, Brooke Hogan, has been granted her wish to be removed from her father's will. This decision means that Brooke will not inherit any part of Hulk's nearly $5 million in assets, as outlined in newly released court documents.
According to the court documents, which were first reported by Us Weekly, Hulk Hogan's estate comprises various assets, including $200,000 in cryptocurrency and $799,000 in personal and intellectual property. Additionally, his right to publicity is valued at approximately $4 million. Notably absent from the records is any mention of a potential financial amount related to a medical malpractice lawsuit concerning an alleged botched neck surgery that Hulk underwent in May, just months before his passing.
Speculation surrounding a potential lawsuit is growing, as Hulk's widow, Sky Daily, is contemplating legal action against the medical professionals involved in the surgery. However, as of now, no lawsuit has been formally filed. In the latest court proceedings, Hulk’s son, Nick Hogan, has taken significant steps concerning his father's estate, including not listing Brooke as a beneficiary.
Nick Hogan has requested to be named as a co-personal representative of Hulk's estate, alongside another individual, Terry McCoy. According to Nick, Hulk initially executed his will in 2016 and subsequently amended it four times between 2017 and 2023. In a proactive move, Brooke voluntarily requested her removal from the will in order to avoid potential disputes over money or legal battles with individuals close to Hulk, including his former wife, Linda Hogan.
In addition to these estate matters, Nick Hogan has filed a lawsuit against Bubba the Love Sponge to prevent the public release of Hulk's infamous sex tape, a development that has attracted media attention. Furthermore, Nick has proposed Terry McCoy as a candidate to serve as the curator of Hulk's estate, indicating a desire to manage the legacy of the wrestling icon responsibly.
As the situation continues to unfold, the implications of Hulk Hogan’s estate decisions and the relationships within his family remain a topic of interest, highlighting the complexities often involved in high-profile estates.
