Hulk Hogan, who died of a heart attack at his Florida home on 24 July at the age of 71, has left his entire £5 million estate to his son Nick Hogan, while his daughter Brooke Hogan has been excluded from the will. Court documents obtained by Us Weekly and TMZ reveal that the WWE legend's 35-year-old son has filed to be co-personal representative of the estate alongside Terry McCoy. The will, initially executed in 2016 and amended several times up to 2023, lists Nick as the sole beneficiary, with Hogan's widow, Melanie Sky Daily, named as surviving spouse.
According to the documents, Hogan's estate includes £200,000 in cryptocurrency, £799,000 in personal property and intellectual property, and the right to his publicity valued at £4 million. An unknown value has also been assigned to a potential medical malpractice lawsuit, which TMZ previously reported Sky Daily is planning to file over a neck surgery Hogan underwent in May that was allegedly not performed properly. None of Hogan's real estate assets were included in the paperwork, including two homes in Clearwater Beach, Florida, estimated to be worth £11 million.
Sources told TMZ that Brooke asked to be removed from her father's will in 2023 following their estrangement and did not wish to receive any money from the estate. Since Hogan's death, Brooke has been outspoken about the circumstances surrounding it, writing on Instagram that 911 call recordings and body cam footage could 'change the narrative'. She claimed to have received information from professionals, including police officials and nurses, urging her to obtain these records, and has shared everything with her brother Nick, describing him as 'boots on the ground with everything'. She added that control of the matter lies with Hogan's wife.
Medical records also revealed that Hogan had been suffering from chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, a condition not publicly known before his death. The wrestler's estate filings did not list any real estate properties, leaving the two Florida homes worth millions outside the documented assets.
