Brooke Hogan, daughter of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, reportedly requested to be removed from her father’s will in 2023, a decision driven by her desire to avoid potential financial disputes following his death. According to sources close to the family, Brooke, aged 37, was concerned about the influence of people in Hulk’s inner circle, whom she believed were taking advantage of him. After years of disagreements over this issue, she contacted his financial manager to ensure she would not be entangled in any legal or financial battles over his estate, estimated to include trademarks, intellectual property, and other assets.
Despite being excluded from the will, Brooke is set to receive a modest sum from a life insurance trust, which she plans to use for her children’s college funds. In an emotional Instagram post following Hulk’s death on July 24, 2025, from cardiac arrest at age 71, Brooke clarified that their estrangement was not due to a major conflict but stemmed from private disagreements, particularly about his health and associates. She expressed deep love for her father, stating, “My dad’s blood runs through my veins,” and emphasized their bond remained unbroken despite limited contact since September 2023.
Brooke’s decision reflects her focus on personal peace and protecting her family, including her twins, born in January 2025 with husband Steven Oleksy. She has expressed no regrets, feeling at peace knowing she supported her father through nearly 25 surgeries and told him she loved him in their final conversation.
