Hulk Hogan net worth
Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, had a net worth of $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The WWE legend's main source of wealth was his career in professional wrestling, his acting and endorsements and social media.
He also starred in films like Mr. Nanny, No Holds Barred, and 3 Ninjas: High Noon At Mega Mountain.
Additionally, the late wrestler appeared in a VH1 reality show named Hogan Knows Best, which was launched in 2005 and ran for four seasons. The show was based on his life with his family.
Hogan had several business interests. In 2012, the WWE Hall of Fame opened its own bar and restaurant, Hogan's Beach Shop. However, after recordings of Hogan using racial slurs surfaced in 2015, the eatery severed ties with the wrestling legend.
The multi-time WWE Champion also reapplied Hogan's Beach brand to retail shops in Clearwater and Orlando.
