Brooke Hogan Reflects on Being Excluded from Hulk Hogan’s Will
Brooke Hogan expressed that she wasn’t taken aback by her removal from her father Hulk Hogan’s will, especially following his death. The WWE icon left a fortune estimated at $5 million to his son, Nick Hogan. Brooke mentioned that, in fact, being excluded was what she had hoped for from her father.
“His decision doesn’t surprise me. It’s actually what I wanted, and I stand by it without any regrets. My dad understands that I’m hardworking, and I’ve been managing on my own for quite some time now,” Brooke commented.
While she hasn’t yet responded to media requests for further comment, Brooke’s feelings about the will are quite clear. She managed to maintain a distance from Hulk and her mother, Linda Hogan, long before his passing in July. After his death, she took to Instagram to pay tribute to him, sharing insights about their complicated relationship.
In a reflective moment, she explained her decision to skip attendance at Hulk’s funeral: “Everyone grieves differently.” She emphasized that their disagreements were not significant battles but rather issues that were personal and complex.

Brooke has tried to be supportive to her father throughout his struggles, offering her help and urging him to take care of his health. However, she felt a growing distance as he underwent numerous surgeries, which she described as an emotionally charged experience, leading her to take a step back from their relationship during a challenging time in her life.
After their dynamic shifted, she noted that some disagreements were emotionally costly, compounded by her own experiences during her high-risk pregnancy.
Reflecting on their time together, Brooke stated, “I did everything I could. He knew I’d go to great lengths for him, and in many ways, I did.” Hulk passed away at the age of 71 after suffering a heart attack at home in Clearwater, Florida, having dealt with heart issues previously.
