Hulk Hogan's daughter, Brooke Hogan, will not be receiving an inheritance from her late father's will following his passing at 71.

The legendary wrestler passed away last week, leaving a reported $25 million estate behind. However, reports suggest his daughter voluntarily removed herself from his beneficiary following the estrangement in 2023.

Brooke Hogan's husband tried to mend the strained ties between father and daughter, especially after welcoming her twins earlier this year, but Hulk Hogan reportedly "responded coldly" and never met his grandkids until his death.

The reason Hulk Hogan's daughter Brooke will not be receiving an inheritance has been revealed.

The former WWE superstar died last week after suffering fatal cardiac arrest, but before his death, he and his daughter's relationship had fallen apart as she confirmed she had to "step away to protect my heart" in the final years of his life.

According to TMZ, Brooke proactively requested to be removed as a beneficiary of her father's estate back in 2023, the same year they last spoke.

The TV personality reportedly had a deep distrust of the people surrounding Hogan and wanted to avoid being entangled in a messy legal battle over his finances after his death.

She had tried to mend their relationship and work out the issue between them, but after years of her efforts falling on deaf ears, Brooke contacted Hogan's financial manager and asked to be excluded from his will.

Brooke is said to be heartbroken that her father didn't trust her enough to have his best interests at heart, but was never motivated by money.

Although Brooke wouldn't receive a dime from Hogan's estate, which is reportedly worth $25 million and includes his trademarks, real estate, intellectual property, and other assets, she is still set to receive a modest sum from a separate life insurance trust in which she remains a beneficiary.

According to the reports, she's grateful for the sum and would seemingly use it to fund her children's college fees.

Brooke, who is married to former NHL player Steven Oleksy, welcomed twins, a boy and a girl, back in January.

However, Hogan never met them despite efforts from his son-in-law to mend his and his daughter's strained ties.

The wrestling icon was said to have "responded coldly and never made an effort to meet Brooke's kids," per TMZ.

Hulk Hogan had Brooke as well as his son, Nick, with his ex-wife Linda, whom he was married to from 1983 to 2009.

Linda then slammed her daughter, branding Brooke a "narcissist" before revealing they'd not spoken in years.
