Brooke Hogan Lashes Out at 'Fake, Greedy' Figures After Father Hulk's Florida Home Sells for $5.9M

On Monday, Brooke Hogan posted a photo of her late father's Clearwater Beach house to her Instagram Stories, a red and white SOLD sticker across the top. "The sick feeling is indescribable," she wrote beneath it. It was the first in a long series of posts in which the 38-year-old TV personality accused unnamed friends and relatives of profiting from Hulk Hogan.

The sale itself had been reported the week before by TMZ. The 5,400-square-foot beachfront mansion went for $5.9 million, after being listed in January at nearly $11 million. The neighboring guest cottage sold separately for $2.8 million. Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, died in July 2025 at age 71 after cardiac arrest at the home. His cause of death was later determined to be a heart attack.

Brooke wrote that the house was where her father and his ex-wife, Jennifer McDaniel, had pictured growing old together. McDaniel was married to him from 2010 to 2021. Brooke described bringing him back there after "surgery after surgery," and listed what she remembered: pool days, the smell of gasoline in the garage, his workouts downstairs, cooking, watching Jerry Springer, playing music, crying. She said she hugged him each visit as he opened the garage door, and sat for hours beside him in the chair where he died. "Sold for profit," she wrote. "Just like him."

Much of her anger was framed around who had been present during his health struggles. Alongside a dock photo of herself with her father, she wrote that people should remember who was there for the 15 years before "the vultures swooped in." She posted pictures of pill bottles labeled with his name, saying she "tracked every med," and described herself and McDaniel as the "nurse crew": notebooks, records, prescription pickups, overnights, shift changes. She said McDaniel spent more time "in the trenches" than anyone, asked for nothing after the split, and never ran a smear campaign. In one hospital photo, Brooke pointed to blood on McDaniel's shirt and missing fingernails.

She then shared an image from a July 2025 episode of WWE SmackDown!, taken after his death, showing wrestlers, legends and crew onstage for the traditional 10-bell salute. "Not ONE of these people stayed longer than an hour in the hospital… if they even showed," she wrote. Another post said others were there "AT the end. To collect." Over a picture of the house she added: "Enjoy your dirty money. You took my dad."

She later pushed back on coverage that read the posts as an attack on WWE's current stars. "I don't have beef with the stars of WWE. Nor did I say that," she wrote, telling reporters to do their job right. Her target, she said, was people who appear at public tributes but did not support her father privately, including so-called friends and family. She also criticized people who she said visited only if paid, "yes men" afraid to tell him the truth, and those who promised to do right by her when he died.

The backdrop is a long and complicated relationship. Father and daughter were central to the reality series Hogan Knows Best, which ran from 2005 to 2007, but Brooke was estranged from him for the final two years of his life. In July 2023, Hulk amended his will to exclude her and her descendants, leaving her brother Nick, 36, as sole beneficiary of his probate estate. Both are children of his ex-wife Linda Hogan. At the time of his death he had been married to Sky Daily since 2023.

Brooke has said the estrangement did not stem from one falling-out but from a series of "respectful disagreements" that wore on her. She has said she asked to be removed from the will because she wanted no part of an expected fight over his fortune. Hulk never publicly addressed the rift or the will, though a source told Us Weekly in March 2025 that he told people he did not know why she stopped speaking to him. In August 2025 she told TMZ she had seen relatives fight over money.

None of the people she criticized have been named, and no responses are reported. The questions of the estate and the family's divisions remain unresolved.
