“She Wasn’t Supposed to Get Anything” – Hulk Hogan’s Will Leaves Family Stunned as New Wife Sky Inherits $7.5 Million, and a Secret Florida Property No One Knew About

The sudden death of wrestling legend Terry Gene Bollea, known to the world as Hulk Hogan, on July 24, 2025, at age 71, sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer, who suffered a cardiac arrest at his $11.5 million Clearwater, Florida, mansion, left behind a legacy as a cultural icon and a complex family dynamic. However, the revelation of his will, disclosed days after his funeral on July 28, 2025, has ignited a firestorm of controversy. According to sources cited by The U.S. Sun and RadarOnline, Hogan’s third wife, Sky Daily, is set to inherit at least $7.5 million—30% of his estimated $25 million estate—along with a previously undisclosed Florida property. This unexpected inheritance, particularly for a marriage of just two years, has left Hogan’s children, Brooke and Nick, and his ex-wives, Linda Hogan and Jennifer McDaniel, reeling, with many claiming, “She wasn’t supposed to get anything.”

A Wrestling Icon’s Vast Fortune

Hulk Hogan’s estimated $25 million estate reflects his decades-long career as a wrestling superstar, reality TV personality, and entrepreneur. His assets include an $11.5 million Clearwater mansion, Hogan’s Beach Shop, Hogan’s Hangout restaurant, and the recently launched Real American Beer. Additional earnings from his Rocky III role, Hogan Knows Best, and a $31 million settlement from a 2016 lawsuit against Gawker Media over a leaked sex tape further bolstered his wealth. Hogan also owned significant real estate, but the discovery of a secret Florida property—a $1.6 million beachfront bungalow purchased in 2016—stunned his family, as it was not listed in his known assets.

Hogan’s estate planning was reportedly meticulous, involving revocable and personal trusts to avoid probate, as noted by estate law expert June Frederiksen in RadarOnline. However, Florida’s spousal elective share law guarantees Sky Daily, married to Hogan in September 2023, at least 30% of his estate, regardless of the will’s terms. This provision, equating to roughly $7.5 million, has sparked outrage among family members who expected a different distribution. The secret property, located next to Hogan’s primary Clearwater residence, adds further intrigue, with questions about why it was concealed and whether it was intended solely for Sky.

Sky Daily’s Swift Moves

Sky Daily, a 46-year-old yoga instructor and mother of three, married Hogan in a low-key ceremony at Indian Rocks Baptist Church, just two months after their July 2023 engagement. Their relationship, marked by a 25-year age gap, was rooted in shared faith and fitness, with both getting baptized together in December 2023. Sky’s emotional Instagram tribute after Hogan’s death, where she wrote, “My heart is in pieces… to me, he was my Terry,” underscored their bond. However, her actions post-death have drawn scrutiny. According to The Bubba the Love Sponge Show on July 25, 2025, Sky allegedly moved within six hours of Hogan’s passing to secure his estate, transferring assets like EWE shares, music rights, and real estate into a trust that reportedly excludes Hogan’s children, Brooke and Nick.

Bubba, a longtime friend of Hogan, expressed shock, stating, “There’s reportedly $26 million up for grabs—not including another 25 to 30 in real estate. Shouldn’t that go to Nick and Brooke and the grandbabies?” Posts on X echoed this sentiment, with users like @BoneKnightmare noting, “A family feud has already started… some family members are not happy that his new wife Sky Daily is set to inherit 30%.” Sky’s alleged lockdown of the estate has fueled accusations that she manipulated Hogan’s final wishes, particularly given his frail health in his last months, which included a major spinal fusion surgery in May 2025.

A Family Estranged

Hogan’s family dynamics were already fractured before his death. His first marriage to Linda Hogan (1983–2009) ended amid allegations of infidelity with Christiane Plante, a friend of their daughter Brooke, leading to Linda receiving 70% of their liquid assets and a $3 million property settlement. Hogan’s second marriage to Jennifer McDaniel (2010–2021) ended quietly, but his relationship with his children, particularly Brooke, deteriorated. Brooke, 36, a singer and former reality star, publicly distanced herself from Hogan, skipping his 2023 wedding to Sky and citing “personal beliefs, goals, and values” in a September 2023 Instagram post. She learned of Hogan’s death through media reports and did not attend his funeral, a decision linked to a 2015 letter confessing a personal betrayal, possibly tied to the sex tape scandal.

Nick, 34, who served jail time in 2008 for a car crash that left his friend brain-dead, maintained a closer relationship with Hogan, attending the funeral with his partner, Tana Lea. However, sources told Yahoo that Nick was “devastated” to learn of Sky’s inheritance, expecting a larger share for himself and Brooke’s twins, Oliver and Molly. Linda, estranged from Brooke since 2015, expressed sorrow over the family rift, telling TMZ in March 2025, “Brooke doesn’t talk to us… she had twins, she got married [and] she didn’t tell us.” The will’s terms have deepened these wounds, with Linda reportedly consulting lawyers to explore contesting the estate.

The Secret Property and Family Feud

The $1.6 million bungalow, purchased after Hogan’s Gawker settlement, was unknown to his children and ex-wives until the will’s disclosure. Described by Daily Mail as a 2,000-square-foot beachfront home with panoramic views, it was allegedly titled in Sky’s name within the trust, raising suspicions of premeditation. A source told RadarOnline that Brooke believes Hogan was influenced by Sky during his vulnerable final months, noting, “She wasn’t supposed to get anything like this. Dad was sick, and she took advantage.” If Brooke or Nick contests the will, Frederiksen warns, the estate could enter probate, prolonging the legal battle.

X posts reflect public outrage, with @OfficialKOMedia claiming Sky “blocked inheritance claims from Brooke & Nick” and @dimsumdaily_hk stating she claimed a $37 million estate, though this figure appears exaggerated. Fans are divided, with some supporting Sky’s legal rights, as @jfizz08 on Reddit noted, “If she gave him three years of happiness, Hulk would probably be okay with that chunk of cash going to his wife.” Others, like @YipZapHollywood, predict a “bitter family feud” over the $7.5 million and secret property.

A Legacy Under Scrutiny

Hogan’s death, following health struggles and controversies like his 2015 racist rant and 2024 RNC speech supporting Donald Trump, has shifted focus to his personal life. The will’s revelation has painted Sky as both a devoted spouse and a potential opportunist, with her rapid estate lockdown raising ethical questions. For Brooke and Nick, the exclusion feels like a final betrayal, compounding years of estrangement. Linda’s potential legal challenge could further muddy Hogan’s legacy, already complicated by scandals.

As the wrestling world mourns the “Hulkster,” the fight over his fortune underscores the personal toll of his fame. The secret Florida property, once a quiet retreat, now symbolizes a family divided, with Sky’s $7.5 million inheritance and control of Hogan’s assets sparking a feud that may outlast his legend. Whether through court battles or public discourse, the question remains: was Sky’s inheritance a loving husband’s gift or a calculated move that left his family stunned?
