Brooke not listed in Hulk Hogan's will
Brooke Hogan revealed that she informed her father's financial manager to remove her from the will.
The 37-year-old explained that she does not want to be involved in any financial battle after the death of Hulk Hogan.
According to Kfbk, Brooke did not trust her father's inner circle as she believes they were taking advantage of his fame and fortune.
Despite not being included in the will, the TV personality will receive some funds from a life insurance policy Hulk Hogan took out with his daughter listed as one of the beneficiaries.
Brooke is reportedly said to channel the funds towards her children's college funds she has with her husband, former NHL player Steven Oleksy, per Daily Mail.
Brooke's husband tried to settle the difference with both parties after she gave birth to twins and almost died during childbirth in January, but all efforts proved futile.
The singer defended her father during a face-off with her mother, Linda, who accused Hulk Hogan of being a liar and sex addict.
