The wrestling world is mourning the loss of a true icon — Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, has passed away at 71 after a cardiac arrest at his Florida home.
Rising to fame in the 1980s, Hogan became a global sensation in the ring, dominating the World Wrestling Federation and becoming one of the highest-paid wrestlers of all time. His signature moves, loud charisma, and larger-than-life image made him a household name.
From selling out arenas to starring on TV, Hogan’s career was a money machine. His $25 million net worth came from championship bouts, blockbuster merchandise, guest appearances, and even a reality TV show featuring his family.
The Hulkster didn’t stop at wrestling — he dabbled in restaurants, launched energy drinks, and rolled out his own line of action figures, further boosting his fortune.
However, his wealth took a major blow during his divorce from wife Linda, who walked away with a large chunk of his assets. Still, Hogan bounced back, maintaining a solid financial footing till the end.
Tributes have poured in from across the world — including former U.S. President Donald Trump, who called him a “great friend” and praised his electric presence at political rallies.
With unmatched fame and a legacy carved in gold, Hulk Hogan’s name will forever echo in wrestling history.
