“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, better known as Hulk Hogan, on July 24, 2025, at age 71, sent shockwaves through the entertainment world. 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 just days after his funeral on July 28, 2025, has ignited a firestorm of controversy. According to sources from 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 that lasted just two years, has left Hogan’s children, Brooke and Nick, as well as his ex-wives, Linda Hogan and Jennifer McDaniel, reeling. Many have remarked, “She wasn’t supposed to get anything.”

Hulk Hogan’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 the $11.5 million Clearwater mansion, Hogan’s Beach Shop, Hogan’s Hangout restaurant, and his recently launched Real American Beer brand. Earnings from his role in Rocky III, the reality show Hogan Knows Best, and a $31 million settlement from a 2016 lawsuit against Gawker Media further bolstered his wealth. However, the discovery of a secret $1.6 million beachfront property—purchased in 2016 and unknown to his children and ex-wives—has left his family in disbelief. The property, located near Hogan’s primary residence, was not listed among his known assets, raising questions about why it was kept hidden and whether it was meant specifically for Sky.

Sky Daily’s Swift Actions After Hogan’s Death

Sky Daily, 46, a yoga instructor and mother of three, married Hogan in a quiet ceremony in September 2023, just two months after their engagement. Despite a significant 25-year age gap, their relationship seemed rooted in shared faith and fitness, and they both underwent baptism together in December 2023. Sky’s emotional Instagram tribute following Hogan’s death, where she wrote, “My heart is in pieces… to me, he was my Terry,” underscored their deep connection.

However, her actions following Hogan’s passing have drawn significant scrutiny. According to The Bubba the Love Sponge Show on July 25, 2025, Sky allegedly acted quickly to secure Hogan’s estate, moving within hours of his death to transfer assets such as shares in EWE, music rights, and real estate into a trust that reportedly excludes Hogan’s children. This swift lockdown of assets has raised suspicions, with long-time friends of Hogan expressing shock.

Bubba, a close friend of Hogan’s, stated, “There’s reportedly $26 million up for grabs—not including another $25 to $30 million in real estate. Shouldn’t that go to Nick and Brooke and the grandbabies?” The speed with which Sky took control has led to accusations that she may have manipulated Hogan’s final wishes, especially given his frail health in the months leading up to his death, which included a major spinal fusion surgery in May 2025.

A Family Divided

Hogan’s family dynamics were already strained 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. This led 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, had 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, citing the betrayal she felt from Hogan in a 2015 letter. Nick, 34, who has a closer relationship with his father, attended the funeral with his partner, Tana Lea. However, sources reveal that Nick was “devastated” upon learning of Sky’s inheritance, believing that he and Brooke’s children should have received a larger share.

Linda, estranged from Brooke since 2015, expressed sorrow over the family rift, saying to TMZ in March 2025, “Brooke doesn’t talk to us… she had twins, she got married [and] she didn’t tell us.” The terms of Hogan’s will have only deepened the rift, with Linda reportedly consulting with lawyers to explore contesting the estate.

The Secret Property and Family Feud

The $1.6 million beachfront 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 home with panoramic views, it was allegedly titled in Sky’s name within the trust. This discovery has raised suspicions that Hogan may have intended it for Sky alone. Sources 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, estate expert June Frederiksen warns that the estate could enter probate, prolonging the legal battle.

X posts reflect public outrage, with user @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 user @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 years of 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, which has already been complicated by scandals.

As the wrestling world mourns the loss of 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?
