Brooke Hogan Addresses Being Left Out of Dad Hulk Hogan’s $5M Will: ‘My Dad Knows I’m a Hard Worker’

Brooke Hogan is not surprised she was left out of her father Hulk Hogan’s will.

Hulk left behind nearly $5 million after his death in July. He was 71. The sole beneficiary of his estate is his son Nick Hogan.

“His decision is no surprise to me,” Brooke, 37, told TMZ in a new interview on Thursday, Sept. 11. “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, a former pop star, also once appeared in the WWE family’s VH1 show Hogan Knows Best, which later led to her own spinoff, Brooke Knows Best. Brooke also made appearances at wrestling-related events alongside Hulk.

Over the past decade, Brooke became estranged from her father, who was embroiled in several controversies, including a speech he gave in support of President Donald Trump at the 2024 Republican National Convention.

Since launching her interior design firm in 2018, Brooke has walked down the aisle, marrying retired NHL player Steven Oleksy in 2022. More recently, Brooke and Steven welcomed twins in January 2025.

Brooke’s comments come days after Nick, 35, filed a restraining order against radio host Bubba the Love Sponge Clem regarding the use of his late father’s sex tape in Clem’s new documentary Video Killed The Radio Star.

Nick, 35, alongside Terry McCoy, the late Hulk’s personal friend and curator of his estate, filed the temporary restraining order against Clem, 59, in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial District in Pinellas County, Fla., on Sept. 2, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.

In 2012, Hulk reached a settlement with Clem, in which the radio host surrendered the rights to the sex tape to the former WWE star. Hulk then registered the sex tape with the U.S. copyright office to prevent further distribution, according to the Tampa Bay Times. The tape features the late WWE star engaging in sex acts with Heather Cole, Clem’s now ex-wife. The tape was captured by home security footage.

Nick and McCoy were granted the restraining order on Sept. 4. In compliance with the restraining order, eight seconds of footage featuring the tape were edited out of the film, and Centro Asturiano management was assured that the producers assumed full liability, per the Tampa Bay Times.
