Brooke Hogan isn’t shedding any tears over her absence in Hulk Hogan’s will — because according to her, that’s exactly how she wanted it.
After news broke that the late WWE icon left his $5 million estate solely to his son, Nick Hogan, fans immediately turned their attention to his daughter, Brooke. But if you were expecting fireworks or legal drama, you won’t find it here.
Brooke came forward with a calm, collected response that surprised many but made one thing very clear: she’s standing tall, no handouts necessary.
“His decision is no surprise to me,” Brooke told TMZ. “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.”
The 36-year-old singer and reality star, who’s long been estranged from both Hulk and her mother, Linda Hogan, has quietly built a life on her own terms. While some fans still associate her with the glitzy VH1 reality series “Hogan Knows Best”, the real Brooke has been living under the radar for years — married, raising twins, and working hard, all while navigating a complicated, private relationship with one of wrestling’s most legendary figures.
After Hulk’s death in July at 71 from a heart attack, Brooke shared an emotional Instagram post that offered a rare window into their fractured but meaningful bond. There was no explosive fight, no public fallout — just a slow unraveling. “It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand,” she wrote. “My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business.”
And while she moved her family from Tennessee to Florida to be closer to him in his final years, Brooke says a “veil” began to separate them.
At one point, she found herself shut out of surgeries she once accompanied him to, and the emotional distance began to grow. But there’s no bitterness in her words — just quiet resolve.
“I know in my heart I did everything I could,” she wrote. “He knew I would run through a burning building for him… He knows how deeply, how hard, and how purely I loved him. I am at peace knowing this.”
So while headlines swirl about Hulk Hogan’s will and what it means, Brooke Hogan’s message is simple: she didn’t lose an inheritance — she chose independence. And she’s not looking back.
