Brooke Hogan says she isn't surprised that her father Hulk's entire $5 million estate has been left to his son Nick.

The pioneering WWE star died at the age of 71 of a cardiac arrest at his home in Florida, US on 24 July.

His daughter Brooke, now 37, didn't attend her father's funeral, while she barely spoke to him over the past two years.

Taking to Instagram on 5 August, the reality star, who appeared on Hogan Knows Best from 2005 to 2007, explained her absence: "My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn't want one

"And although I know people grieve in many ways - and I'm so grateful for all celebrations and events organised to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best way I knew how... privately... the way that made me feel the closest to him."

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, shared two children with his ex-wife Linda - Brooke and Nick, now 35.

As reported by People, Nick is said to be the sole beneficiary of his $5 million estate, as she said 'the decision is no surprise to me'.

"It's what I asked for, I stand by it with no regrets," she told TMZ.

"My dad knows I'm a hard worker and I have been surviving without his money for a long, long time."

The former pop star launched an interior design firm in 2018, and got married to retired NHL player Steven Oleksy in 2022.

During a call-in on Bubba the Love Sponge’s podcast, Brooke said she didn't want to be included in her father's will to avoid confrontation with her mother and her father’s third wife Sky Daily.

Claiming that Linda formerly had links to The Church of Scientology, she added: "I thought if I get left any money or [my brother] Nick gets left any money then, no offense, my mom has been known to find herself in the mix with things like that.

"And I’m like, I don’t want to fight Linda, I don’t want to fight Scientology.

"It scared me.

"And I just said, I want out."

Over on Instagram, she added: "In the end, he continued to be a financial success for many.

"This was the last thing I wanted for him.

"He's been working and tearing his body apart his entire life."
