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.

Patrick's family have revealed the moment they 'knew the marriage was over' ring it off Cat Deeley takes her wedding ring off for dinner with male friend in Spain – after split from Patrick Kielty CAT Deeley has been snapped for the first time since splitting from husband Patrick Kielty after 13 years of marriage. The former couple - who share sons Milo, seven, and James, five - announced that they were separating last month. 3 Cat was seen having dinner on holiday just days after she and Patrick confirmed their split Credit: Getty 3 The former couple were married for 13 years Credit: WireImage 3 Sources close to Patrick's family have revealed the moment they 'knew his marriage was over' Now photos show This Morning host Cat, 48, seen out for dinner with a male friend in Sitges, Spain on August 2 - just days after she and Patrick, 54. Onlookers told the Daily Mail how the presenter looked 'crestfallen' during the 'difficult time'. The snaps obtained by the publication show Cat without her wedding ring as she and hairdresser pal Ben Skervin tucked into dinner at restaurant Chiringuito de Garraf. Ben is a celebrity hairstylist and has worked with the likes of the Spice Girls, Mariah Carey and Madonna. A fellow diner said: 'Cat looked a bit down and a touch crestfallen, not her usual spritely self, which is understandable given her marriage split. 'Her accent was recognisable to a number of Brits at the restaurant, which is popular with celebrities, and she had interacted with a few British kids also dining there 'She clearly needed to be around her nearest and dearest during such a difficult time.' It comes after sources revealed that, after Cat was a no-show at the funeral of Patrick's mother in March, his family 'knew the marriage was over'. One said: 'Whatever rockiness was going on in the marriage, something as momentous as his mother's funeral, you would make up even temporarily and just put your 'best face' on as we say in Northern Ireland. "Cat obviously knew how close Patrick was to Mary and she should have come to be by his side, a hand on his shoulder as he buried his mother. Patrick Kielty 'didn't feel like an equal partner' in failed marriage to Cat Deeley - admitting 'rough patches' they had to work through 'The fact that she stayed in London and presented This Morning on the day, it's not been forgotten. At the time of Mary's funeral, Cat insisted she'd stayed in London to be with their sons Milo, seven, and James, five. A spokesman for Cat told the Mail: "Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day."
