The will of wrestling star Hulk Hogan, who died in July, leaves nearly $5 million in reported assets and does not list his daughter, Brooke Hogan, as a beneficiary, court filings reviewed this week show.
Hogan’s son, Nick Hogan, filed documents proposing that he be named co-personal representative of his father’s estate alongside a man identified as Terry McCoy; the court signed off on the requests. The filings state Hogan executed a will in 2016 and amended it in 2017, 2021, 2022 and again in July 2023, two months before his marriage to Sky Daily.
According to the filings summarized by media outlets, the estate’s reported liquid and intangible assets include about $200,000 in cryptocurrency, approximately $799,000 in personal property and intellectual property, and roughly $4 million attributed to his right of publicity. The papers also note a potential claim from a medical malpractice matter whose value was not specified.
Nick Hogan, 35, is identified in the filings as the sole beneficiary of the estate, while Daily is listed as a surviving spouse. The documents do not enumerate real estate holdings, which court papers say may be held in a trust or an LLC; separate reporting estimates two neighboring Clearwater, Florida, homes owned by Hogan could be worth about $11 million.
Brooke Hogan, 37, who had been publicly estranged from her father in recent years, is not included as a beneficiary. Brooke told followers on Instagram that her “sacred, quiet bond” with her father had “never been broken” despite an emotional distance she described, and she said she asked to be removed from the will around the time Hogan remarried because she did not want to become part of a financial dispute.
Hogan, born Terry Bollea, died in July at age 71 after suffering cardiac arrest at one of his Clearwater homes; subsequent reporting said the cause of death was acute myocardial infarction. Court filings and media reports note Hogan had a history of atrial fibrillation and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a cancer affecting certain white blood cells, information that until recently had not been widely publicized.
TMZ and other outlets reported that Daily plans to pursue a medical malpractice lawsuit related to a neck operation Hogan underwent in May. The estate filings reference the potential malpractice claim but do not assign it a monetary value.
The recent court action follows the estate administration steps typically taken after a high-profile death. Nick Hogan sought not only to be named co-personal representative but also proposed that McCoy be designated as curator of the estate; the court approved those roles, according to the filings.
Brooke Hogan has publicly questioned aspects of her father’s reported leukemia diagnosis, noting he had undergone multiple surgeries in recent years that included blood testing she said would have revealed abnormalities associated with CLL. She has otherwise described their relationship as complicated but emotionally significant.
The filings reviewed by Page Six do not provide a full accounting of all assets, and the absence of real property from the listed assets suggests some holdings may be arranged through separate legal entities. Estate administration is expected to proceed under the oversight of the court-appointed representatives named in the filings.
No immediate public statement was available from Sky Daily or representatives for the estate beyond the court filings. Media organizations have reported the ongoing legal steps involving both the probate process and the potential medical malpractice case.
