So, let us understand the net worth of the legendary WWE wrestler.

Before we jump to the net worth of the wrestler it is important to study the report card of the wrestler in the arena of wrestling. In his Hulk-sized wrestling career, Hogan has been able to achieve six WWF championships and six WCW championships. During the late phase of the 1980s and early phases of the 1990s, The Hulkster became the face of wrestling with his career path as the all-American hero.

Hogan’s major part of the earning has been through his mainstream profession, wrestling. Hulk Hogan owns a tremendous bank balance owning to his career that has been for the span of over four decades.

Hulk Hogan, in his autobiography, has mentioned that he used to make around $10 million per year during the later phases of the 1980s. It is to be noted that during this period the wrestler was at his ultimate peak.

However, there comes no confirmation about it from the wrestling company of WWE. Although, Steve Austin was making twelve million in his peak. It wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for Hogan to make the same espescially when he was the foundation around which the WWE was built in the 80’s.

His current net worth is $25 million according to Wealthy Gorilla.

It is a sad part to know that the earnings of the wrestler had hit a huge dent. During the 1990s Hogan spent millions on his luxury lifestyle which led to the damage.

Other than wrestling Hulk Hogan has also tried his hand at the stream of acting. He charged a fee of $15,000 for a role in ‘Rocky III’.
