كشفت تقارير أمريكية تفاصيل وصية نجم المصارعة الحرة الراحل هولك هوغان، الذي فارق الحياة في الرابع والعشرين من يوليو 2025 داخل منزله في مدينة كلير ووتر بولاية فلوريدا، عن عمر ناهز 71 عاماً، بعد معاناة مع مشكلات صحية في الظهر والعنق خضع على إثرها لجراحة دقيقة. وأفادت صحيفة «ذا تايمز» الأمريكية، نقلاً عن وكيله الإعلامي كريس فولو، أن الجراحة كانت «ناجحة»، نافياً حينها ما تردد حول دخوله في غيبوبة قبل وفاته بأسابيع.
وفيما تداول محبوه وعشاق المصارعة كلمات الوداع والتأبين لأسطورة WWE، فإن ما خلفه رحيله من جدل عائلي بشأن الإرث لم يكن أقل صخباً من حياة الرجل داخل الحلبة. إذ أشارت شبكة TMZ الأمريكية إلى أن وصية هوغان لم تتضمن ابنته بروك هوغان ضمن المستفيدين من إرثه البالغ نحو 25 مليون دولار أمريكي، رغم تاريخها الفني ومحاولاتها المتكررة لمد الجسور مع والدها في الأعوام الأخيرة. وذكرت الشبكة أن بروك كانت قد طلبت بنفسها عام 2023 إزالتها من الوصية، تعبيراً عن فقدانها الثقة في المحيطين بوالدها، ولرغبتها في تجنب الدخول في نزاعات مالية محتملة عقب وفاته.
وبحسب المصدر ذاتها، فإن بروك ستحصل فقط على مبلغ رمزي من وثيقة تأمين على الحياة أنشأها والدها، وهي تخطط لاستخدامه لتأمين مستقبل أبنائها التعليمي. وبدت بروك، في رسالة مؤثرة نشرتها على حسابها في «إنستغرام» بعد الوفاة، متصالحة مع القرار، وكتبت: «حين رحل عن هذا العالم، شعرت وكأن جزءاً من روحي غادر معه... أعلم أنه في سلام الآن، بعيداً عن الألم، في المكان الذي طالما تحدث عنه وكأنه أعظم بطولة سيفوز بها: لقاء الله».
وأضافت في رسالتها أن علاقتهما مرت بمرحلة حساسة قبيل الوفاة، إذ قالت: «كان يتصل بي ليكشف عن أثقال في قلبه... عرضت أن أكون طوق نجاة له، وناشدته أن يعتني بنفسه، لكنه اختار طريقاً بدا أنه يؤلمه». واختتمت قائلة: «أعلم في قرارة نفسي أنني قدمت كل ما في وسعي. كان يدرك أنني أحببته بصدق، وأنني كنت سأخوض نيراناً لأجله. هذا وحده يمنحني راحة في قلبي».
في مارس الماضي، كانت بروك قد فجّرت تصريحات مثيرة على حسابها الشخصي، أوضحت خلالها أن طفولتها كانت مليئة بما وصفته بـ«الإساءات اللفظية والعقلية الشديدة»، التي قالت إنها «تحولت أحياناً إلى عنف جسدي». واتهمت أطرافاً في عائلتها باستغلالها والتقليل من شأنها، وأضافت: «كنت أبحث عن عائلة طبيعية، لكن ذلك لم يتحقق قط».
وفي سياق متصل، نقلت صحيفة «ذا صن» البريطانية أن زوجة هوغان الحالية، سكاي ديلي، ستنال وفقاً لقوانين ولاية فلوريدا نسبة 30% من إرثه، سواء جرى تحديث الوصية أو لم يتم ذلك.
وبحسب موقع «Celebrity Net Worth»، بلغت ثروة هوغان في عام وفاته نحو 25 مليون دولار، رغم أنه سبق أن امتلك ثروة أكبر قبل أن يخسر جزءاً منها في تسوية طلاقه من زوجته السابقة ليندا هوغان. وتضمنت ثروته تعويضاً ضخماً من موقع «Gawker» على خلفية نشر فيديو شخصي له، حصل بموجبه على تسوية مالية قدرها 31 مليون دولار بعد الضرائب، من أصل حكم قضائي ابتدائي بلغ 140 مليون دولار.
ويُعد هوغان واحداً من أبرز أساطير المصارعة الحرة في التاريخ، إذ تُوج بست بطولات عالمية وترك بصمة لا تُنسى على حلبات WWE وقلوب الجماهير عبر العقود.

American reports revealed details about the will of the late wrestling star Hulk Hogan, who passed away on July 24, 2025, at his home in Clearwater, Florida, at the age of 71, after suffering from health issues related to his back and neck, which led him to undergo delicate surgery. The American newspaper "The Times," citing his media agent Chris Volo, reported that the surgery was "successful," denying rumors that he had fallen into a coma weeks before his death.
While his fans and wrestling enthusiasts shared words of farewell and tribute to the WWE legend, the family controversy surrounding his legacy was no less noisy than the man’s life inside the ring. The American network TMZ indicated that Hogan's will did not include his daughter Brooke Hogan among the beneficiaries of his estate, which amounts to approximately 25 million US dollars, despite her artistic history and her repeated attempts to bridge the gap with her father in recent years. The network mentioned that Brooke had requested in 2023 to be removed from the will, expressing her loss of trust in those around her father and her desire to avoid potential financial disputes following his death.
According to the same source, Brooke will only receive a symbolic amount from a life insurance policy created by her father, and she plans to use it to secure her children's educational future. Brooke appeared, in an emotional message she posted on her Instagram account after his death, to be at peace with the decision, writing: "When he left this world, I felt as if a part of my soul left with him... I know he is at peace now, free from pain, in the place he always spoke of as the greatest championship he would win: meeting God."
She added in her message that their relationship went through a sensitive phase before his death, saying: "He would call me to reveal the burdens in his heart... I offered to be a lifeline for him, and urged him to take care of himself, but he chose a path that seemed to hurt him." She concluded by saying: "I know deep down that I gave everything I could. He knew that I loved him sincerely, and that I would walk through fire for him. That alone gives me comfort in my heart."
Last March, Brooke made shocking statements on her personal account, clarifying that her childhood was filled with what she described as "severe verbal and mental abuse," which she said "sometimes turned into physical violence." She accused some members of her family of exploiting her and belittling her, adding: "I was looking for a normal family, but that never happened."
In a related context, the British newspaper "The Sun" reported that Hogan's current wife, Sky Daily, will receive 30% of his estate according to Florida laws, whether the will is updated or not.
According to the website "Celebrity Net Worth," Hogan's net worth at the time of his death was around 25 million dollars, although he had previously owned a larger fortune before losing part of it in a divorce settlement with his ex-wife Linda Hogan. His wealth included a huge compensation from the site "Gawker" following the publication of a personal video of him, for which he received a financial settlement of 31 million dollars after taxes, from an initial court ruling of 140 million dollars.
Hogan is considered one of the most prominent legends in wrestling history, having won six world championships and leaving an unforgettable mark on WWE rings and in the hearts of fans over the decades.
