According to Celebrity Net Worth, the wrestler, actor and reality TV star had an estimated net worth of $25 million, or €21.2 million.
The figure includes his settlement with Gawker.com, which was initially $140 million ( €118.9 million) but was ultimately reduced to $31 million (€26.3 million) before taxes
Hogan settled with Gawker in 2016 after suing the company in 2012 for publishing a secretly-recorded sex tape featuring him and Heather Clem, who at the time was the wife of his friend, Bubba the Love Sponge.
The net worth also takes into account the millions which the wrestler lost as part of his divorce from ex-wife Linda Hogan.

Pic:Trumps security force included the army, navy and counter-terrorism police, who completed security checks on the course, with police snipers keeping a watchful eye from scaffolding set up all around the area. Sky News reported that Trump was blaring pop music as he drove his golf buggy around the Turnberry course, including hits like 'Uptown Girl' by Billy Joel, 'Memory' by Elaine Paige and 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' by Simon & Garfunkel.

The US President went on to say, 'To his wife, Sky, and family, we give our warmest best wishes and love. Hulk Hogan will be greatly missed'. Hulk Hogan publicly endorsed Trump at the 2024 Republican National Convention, sending the audience wild as he waved the American flag before Trump took to the stage.

Dawn O'Porter reveals she's ‘always broke' despite Hollywood life with Chris O'Dowd
British writer and television presenter Dawn O'Porter has revealed that despite being married to Hollywood actor Chris O'Dowd, she is 'always broke' and lives 'pay cheque to pay cheque' The author and TV presenter, 46, who wed the Irish star back in 2012, made the stark admission in a recent interview, revealing she works hard to cover bills and rent. 'I work pay cheque to pay cheque,' said Dawn. 'I'm always broke. My card got declined last week. I'm like, what the f*** is happening? When will this end?' British writer and television presenter Dawn O'Porter has revealed that despite being married to Hollywood actor Chris O'Dowd, she is 'always broke' and lives 'pay cheque to pay cheque' Pic: David M. Benett/Dave Benett/WireImage Speaking on the White Wine Question Time podcast, she explained: 'I've never seen myself as a celebrity. Even though I'm married to Chris, who is quite a well-known actor, I don't think either of us have ever seen ourselves as celebrities. 'I guess if I was a celebrity, I'd get paid lots of money to do things that aren't necessarily my job or don't really feed what I do, but I don't. My job is writing, with the occasional little ad on Instagram to pay the rent.' Last Summer, Dawn returned to London with Chris and their two children; Art and Valentine, after eight years in Los Angeles. The author and TV presenter, 46, who wed the Irish star back in 2012, made the stark admission in a recent interview, revealing she works hard to cover bills and rent. Pic:for THR The star recalled meeting Chris just as her own career was collapsing, adding: 'Everything had fallen apart.' 'My TV career had just gone. I was so poor. I was so upset. I had zero confidence. I didn't know what I was going to do. I'd just met Chris, and he was on this trajectory up. I thought, well maybe this is just it. I'm just a girlfriend, and that's it.' Dawn's first ever red carpet was the 2011 premiere of Bridesmaids, the film that inevitably catapulted Chris to international fame. 'I work pay cheque to pay cheque,' said Dawn. 'I'm always broke. My card got declined last week. I'm like, what the f*** is happening? When will this end?' Pic:for BFI 'I always thought that if I was in this position, it would be because I'd done something to deserve it,' she reflected. 'We were living in LA and I just said to Chris, I've got to go back to London to try and claw back my career,' she said of their first time in the states. 'And we came back to London for a bit and I'd go for these meetings at TV production companies and I'd been successful. 'I had my own series on Channel 4… and they'd be like, 'What do you want to do?' and I was like, 'I want to do what I do'. But no one wanted to employ me.'
