Brooke Hogan cut from Hulk’s $5 million will after saying ‘take me off everything,’ husband says rift ‘had nothing to do with his new wife’

Court documents filed this week have revealed that WWE legend Hulk Hogan left his daughter, Brooke Hogan, out of his $5 million estate after she asked to be removed from his will. The wrestling icon died on July 24 at age 71 from a heart attack at his Florida home.

According to documents obtained by US Weekly and TMZ and filed in Pinellas County on September 9, Hogan’s son Nick is the sole beneficiary of the estate worth nearly $5 million. Nick submitted the filing to become co-personal representative of his father’s estate alongside Terry McCoy, who will act as curator. The court approved both requests this week.

Brooke’s exclusion from the will came at her own request years before Hogan’s death. In August, she explained to radio host Bubba the Love Sponge that she asked her father’s assistant to “take me off everything” because she was “scared” of the fighting that would come after his death. “I just said, take me off everything, I don’t want to be a part of it,” she recalled while sobbing during the interview.

The estate documents show that Hogan executed his first will in 2016 and amended it multiple times in 2017, 2021, 2022, and finally in July 2023. The final version names Nick as the only beneficiary while listing Hogan’s widow Sky Daily as a surviving spouse.

The $5 million estate includes $200,000 in cryptocurrency, $799,000 in personal and intellectual property, and $4 million in publicity rights. Nick also mentioned a potential medical malpractice lawsuit in the filing, which his stepmother Sky Daily is reportedly planning against Hogan’s doctors. The estate documents do not include Hogan’s real estate holdings, which consist of two side-by-side properties in Clearwater Beach valued at approximately $11 million.

Brooke’s husband Steven Oleksy previously told People magazine that their family rift “had nothing to do with his new wife” Sky Daily. He explained that the conflict stemmed from “the way he treated Brooke” over the years. Supporting her father through multiple controversies, including leaked audio recordings containing racial slurs, had “really taken a toll on her,” Oleksy said.

The estrangement became clear when Hogan declined to attend Brooke’s June 2022 wedding to Oleksy, telling him he “doesn’t do weddings or funerals anymore.” Brooke and Hogan had remained estranged for the final two years of his life, even as she welcomed twins earlier this year. The wrestling legend never met his grandchildren before his death in July.
