Brooke Hogan has addressed being left out of her late father Hulk Hogan's will after the wrestling legend left behind nearly $5 million following his death in July at the age of 71.
The former pop star, 37, was not named as a beneficiary of her father's estate, with her younger brother, Nick Hogan, 35, receiving the inheritance instead.
However, Brooke has made it clear that she is not upset about the decision, telling TMZ that it was something she had wanted. "His decision is no surprise to me," Brooke told the outlet. "It's what I asked for, I stand by it with no regrets. My dad knows I'm a hard worker and I have been surviving without his money for a long, long time."Brooke's comments come after she became estranged from her father over the past decade.
The pair's relationship grew distant amid several controversies surrounding the WWE legend, including his appearance at the 2024 Republican National Convention, where he delivered a speech in support of President Donald Trump.
Despite their strained relationship, Brooke had previously been a familiar face alongside her father on television. She appeared on the family's VH1 reality series Hogan Knows Best, which later led to her own spinoff, Brooke Knows Best. She also joined Hulk at various wrestling-related events throughout his career.
In recent years, Brooke has focused on building a life outside her family's wrestling fame. She launched her own interior design firm in 2018 and married retired NHL player Steven Oleksy in 2022. The couple welcomed twins in January 2025.
Her decision to distance herself from her father's fortune comes as the Hogan family continues to deal with legal matters following the wrestler's death.
Just days before Brooke's comments, Nick filed for a restraining order against radio host Bubba the Love Sponge Clem over the use of footage from Hulk's adult film in Clem's new documentary, Video Killed The Radio Star.
Nick and Terry McCoy, a longtime friend of Hulk's who also served as curator of his estate, filed the temporary restraining order against Clem, 59, in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial District in Pinellas County, Florida, on September 2, according to court documents obtained.
The legal dispute centers on footage involving Hulk and Heather Cole, Clem's now ex-wife. The recording was captured through home security footage and became the subject of a high-profile legal battle more than a decade ago.
In 2012, Hulk reached a settlement with Clem that required the radio host to surrender the rights to the tape to the wrestler. Hulk subsequently registered the recording with the U.S. Copyright Office to prevent its further distribution, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Nick and McCoy were granted the restraining order on September 4. Following the ruling, eight seconds of footage featuring the tape were removed from the documentary. Management at Centro Asturiano, where the film was being shown, was also assured that the producers would assume full liability, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
