Brooke Hogan is opening up about what she calls her biggest regret following the death of her father, Hulk Hogan, and it has nothing to do with money. Months after revealing she removed herself from Hulk’s will before his death in July 2025, the estranged daughter now says she wishes she had stayed involved to protect his legacy.
🔥 Quick Facts
- Brooke’s Regret: She removed herself from Hulk’s will in 2023 for her own sanity, now deeply regrets the decision.
- Estate Value: Hulk left behind a nearly $5 million estate, with brother Nick Hogan named sole beneficiary.
- Netflix Doc: Hulk Hogan: Real American recently premiered on Netflix without Brooke’s participation or input.
- Legacy Concern: Brooke says the issue isn’t the money, but who controls her father’s estate and public image.
Why Brooke Removed Herself From The Will
Brooke Hogan originally requested to be removed from her father’s will years before his July 2025 death. Sources revealed she made the decision to protect her sanity and safety, distancing herself from people around Hulk she deeply distrusted. Brooke told The New York Post she believed walking away was the healthiest decision at the time.
The estranged daughter said her father knew she was a hard worker and never expected an inheritance. She had publicly stated she had no regrets about the choice when Hulk first passed. But months later, her perspective shifted dramatically.

The Nightmare That Followed His Death
Everything changed when Brooke realized the people she had desperately wanted to distance herself from were now in complete control. Nick Hogan, her brother, became the sole beneficiary, and Hulk’s third wife, Sky Daily, was listed as surviving spouse.
Brooke expressed her frustration in recent interviews, stating she cannot do anything to help her father after his death, find answers, or avenge him in any way. “The people that I so badly wanted to get away from are now running the show, which is even more of a nightmare,” she said.
Legacy Control and What’s Really at Stake
| Issue | Brooke’s Concern |
| Financial Control | Not about the $5M inheritance |
| Legacy Management | No voice in how Hulk is represented |
| Decision Making | Cannot influence estate or public image |
| Family Involvement | Frozen out of major family decisions |
Brooke was emphatic that her regret stems from wanting to ensure her father’s legacy lives on in the most positive way possible. She said it’s about doing the right thing and having a seat at the table when decisions about Hulk Hogan’s memory are made. The estranged daughter felt powerless watching others shape her late father’s public narrative.
“I think everybody very clearly understands that I was my dad’s protector and I loved him more than anything. The reason why I regret it, is because I do not have a place now to get answers.”

The Netflix Documentary Exclusion
Netflix’s Hulk Hogan: Real American docuseries included interviews with Hulk’s ex-wife Linda, son Nick, and archival footage of Hulk himself, but conspicuously excluded Brooke. The daughter explained she had no interest in participating due to family dynamics. Brooke said when television opportunities surface, family members suddenly switch positions on loyalty for the cameras.
She refused to be part of that group dynamic, especially with people she felt had betrayed her father’s trust. Brooke also claimed the documentary missed crucial details about her father’s life and her own role in protecting him.
Can Brooke Ever Reclaim Her Voice in Hulk’s Legacy?
Brooke Hogan currently focuses on her own life rather than battling estate decisions. She is raising her twins with husband Steve Oleksy, returning to music, launching her wine brand House of Stars, and pursuing new television projects. Despite the family turmoil, Brooke says she’s committed to breaking old patterns.
Yet questions remain about whether Brooke will ever have meaningful input on how Hulk Hogan’s legacy is remembered. Her regret serves as a cautionary tale about family estrangement and the long-term consequences of stepping away, even when the initial decision felt necessary for survival.
