Brooke Hogan isn't concerned about finances.
After Hulk Hogan's will revealed that his and ex-wife Linda Hogan's son Nick Hogan was the sole beneficiary of his estate, the former pro wrestler's daughter reacted to not being included in his $5 million will.
"His decision is no surprise to me," Brooke told TMZ in an interview published 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."
For the 37-year-old, her complicated relationship with Hulk (real name is Terry Gene Bollea) and mom Linda—which led to a years-long estrangement—wasn't due to finances.
After the WWE alum's death at age 71 from a heart attack in July, Brooke—who shares 7-month-old twins Oliver and Molly with husband Steven Oleksy—shared insight into their dynamic.
"We never had a 'big fight,'" she explained five days after Hulk's passing. "My father and I never 'fought.' It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand. My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business."
"I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed," she continued. "I told him he had my support. I begged him to rest, to take care of himself. He had nothing to prove to the world or anyone."
The Hogan Knows Best alum even revealed that she and Steven, 39, had relocated to Florida from Tennessee since Hulk was "getting older."
"I wanted to be there as much as I could," she explained. "We had been through almost 25 surgeries together, and then all of a sudden, he didn't want me at surgeries… everything started getting covered in a thick veil. It was like there was a force field around him that I couldn't get through."
Following this shift, Brooke said that she and her dad had "respectful disagreements that took an emotional toll," which, along with her high-risk pregnancy, led her to "step away" from their relationship.
"I know in my heart I did everything I could," she added. "He knew I would run through a burning building for him. And in many ways, along the path of life, I did. He knows how deeply, how hard and how purely I loved him. I am at peace knowing this."

Mr. Nanny
Nick Hogan and Brooke Hogan may have, at times, publicly wrestled with their relationship with dad Hulk Hogan (with them in New York City in 1989), but there's no dobut he was an icon in the wrestling community.
As Nick put it during a 2018 chat with TMZ, "Physically, he's insane."

Though actress and producer Brooke remained tight with her dad for years, she revealed in 2023 why she didn't attend her father's wedding to third wife Sky Daily, writing on Instagram, "For my own journey to healing and happiness, I have chosen to create some distance between myself and my family, and am focusing on people and things that heal my heart and align with my own personal beliefs, goals, and values."

She got married, she didn't tell us… She had a huge fight with Terry. I don't know how that reflected onto me, but she cut me out too."
