Hulk Hogan is a pro-wrestling legend and inarguably deserves to be on the Mount Rushmore of wrestling. His career has seen so many ups and downs that one documentary isn’t enough to cover his legacy. It would take a whole Hulkamaniaverse to encapsulate all of it. That’s why Netflix cast Chris Hemsworth to play him. For Hogan, one thing that came along with immense fame was some poor financial decisions [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-hulk-hogan-foolish-decision-cost-him-close-to-200-million/]. We all know about so many that Hulk Hogan ended up making when his popularity was at its peak. From his marriages to the hopping off to TNA and trying to make it WWE’s alternative, there are many places where we could see that the Hulkster was just human. LEGENDARY WWE COMMENTATOR COMPARES CONOR MCGREGOR’S SUCCESS IN UFC TO THE ’80S CRAZE FOR HULK HOGAN While Hogan is arguably one of the most popular pro-wrestlers of all time, the same can be said about Conor McGregor when it comes to MMA. Jim Ross once compared the two superstars and wrote [https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2601215-conor-mcgregor-compared-to-hulk-hogan-and-warned-by-wwe-hall-of-famer-jim-ross] on his blog, “All these fighters @UFC calling out Conor McGregor, obviously because the Irishman is the new ‘it guy’ in UFC and that’s where one will find the money… the big money. Two quick points, I hope that McGregor has a great financial planning in place where he’s saving much more than he spends on toys, etc.“ READ MORE: Hulk Hogan Cost Himself $200 Million By Making An Awful Decision That Prevented Him From Being The Floyd Mayweather Or Conor McGregor Of His Generation [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-hulk-hogan-cost-himself-200-million-by-making-an-awful-decision-that-prevented-him-from-being-the-floyd-mayweather-or-conor-mcgregor-of-his-generation/] “Plus that this reminds me of when Hulk Hogan was white hot in WWF and when the booking sheets would be distributed that the boys on the road, when three shows a night was the norm, would first look to find Hogan’s name and where he was booked and then examine that card to see if their name was listed too. Everyone wants to follow the money and being on Hogan’s live event cards was where the big money was as a rule back in the day.“ Conor McGregor [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1399762208.jpg] Conor McGregor [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/conor-mcgregor/] is easily one of the most electric and enigmatic combat sports athletes in the world. He has been the biggest star in the company that has made a mark in the pop culture ethos. Anything he says, tweets, or does makes the news instantly.

Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor Net Worth 2024, Wife, Next Fight, and More Who is Conor McGregor? There&#8217;s barely any UFC fan who is not familiar with the name Conor McGregor. ConchÃºr AntÃ³in Mac GrÃ©agÃ³ir, an Irish MMA fighter, has become synonymous with the UFC, at least for an entire generation of fans. Deemed one of the highest-earning athletes in the world, the first-ever UFC two-division champion charted the Forbes No. 1 list in 2021 for his earnings both inside and outside the octagon. Apart from his fighting prowess, he is today a successful entrepreneur and very much a family man. So hereâ€™s a detailed peek into UFCâ€™s very own â€˜Notorious.â€™ Conor McGregorâ€™s early lifeÂ  McGregor was born in the year 1988 to Margaret and Tony McGregor in the capital city of Ireland, Dublin. McGregor&#8217;s mother is Margaret McGregor, and his father&#8217;s name is Tony McGregor. Apart from these two, the McGregor family also consists of the fighter&#8217;s two sisters. Erin McGregor is his oldest sister, while his second older sister is named Aoife McGregor. Erin McGregor has also appeared as a contestant in the noted celebrity dance reality show, &#8216;Dancing with the Stars&#8217;. She also works as a fitness model. On the other hand, Aoife McGregor prefers staying out of the spotlight and runs an excavation business with her husband Mark Elliott in Dublin. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; attended Irish language schools for his education. He completed his primary schooling at Gaelscoil Scoil Mologa, in Harold&#8217;s Cross. He also got admitted toÂ  GaelcholÃ¡iste ColÃ¡iste de hÃde in Tallaght.   McGregor grew up in a rather violent neighborhood of Crumlin in Dublin. He also played football in his youth. But at the age of 12, McGregor started taking boxing lessons at the Crumlin Boxing Club to raise his confidence and defend himself in the fights he often got into. McGregor shifted to Lucan in Dublin in the year 2006. He also took up an apprenticeship as a plumber. Also, it was in Lucan where McGregor had his meeting with the former UFC fighter, Tom Egan. This meeting opened up whole new avenues before McGregor. They also started training in MMA together. Conor McGregor&#8217;s wife and children First and foremost it needs to be mentioned that Conor McGregor isn&#8217;t married as of now. The Irishman has been in a relationship with his girlfriend-turned-fiance, Dee Devlin. McGregor first met Devlin in 2008 and the two have been together ever since. However, their relationship became public post-McGregor&#8217;s UFC rise in 2013. The Dublin native also got engaged to the love of his life in the year 2020. McGregor and Devlin also have four three kids together named, Conor Jr., Croai, Rian, and their latest addition, Mack. McGregor&#8217;s son, Conor Jr. is his eldest offspring, followed by his daughter Croai. Then followed by Rian, and the youngest is Mack, born in November 2023. Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth 2024 The 35-year-old Irishman took the UFC and the sport of MMA to a whole new level since he joined in 2013. McGregor showcased his superb in-octagon prowess to become the first-ever champ-champ of the UFC. Understandably, the UFC also didn&#8217;t limit itself financially and awarded McGregor lucrative contracts.   &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; also holds an awesome insight about how he can multiply his money with investments. He has invested in numerous businesses to date and makes some hefty amounts from there as well. As far as reports suggest, &#8216;Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth&#8217; stands at a whopping $200M by the end of the year 2024. McGregor also receives his salary per fight, like every other UFC fighter. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; earned his all-time highest base salary in his two last bouts against the famed lightweight, Dustin Poirier, which stood at a whopping $5M. The same bouts also earned him his biggest paydays. Also, McGregor&#8217;s total earnings from both bouts were exactly the same. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; pocketed an insane $5,011,000 for each of the two fights. Conor McGregorâ€™s career timeline The boy who once started boxing to defend himself from bullies today rules the world of MMA. Here are some of the highlights of his decorated career: Began showing interest in MMA (April 2006) First MMA Fight (February 2007) First Professional MMA Fight (March 2009) UFC Debut (April 2013) Fastest UFC Knockout in Championship Match (Jose Aldo, December 2015) First simultaneous UFC double champion (Eddie Alvarez, November 2016) Professional Boxing Debut (August 2017) Conor McGregor: UFC record The later part of McGregor&#8217;s career saw him pick up quite a few losses. The UFC record of arguably the most noted figure in MMA currently stands at 22-6-0. His last win was against Donald Cerrone by TKO but sadly the fighter was in recovery after two consecutive losses against Dustin Poirier, with the latter leaving him with a fractured tibia that required surgical intervention.Â    The fighter has however independently announced his comeback, but we are still awaiting an official confirmation from the promotion he is contractually bound to. And as per his own revelation to The MMA Hour host Ariel Helwani, he has only two more fights left in his contract. He has further made it abundantly clear that his loyalties lie with the UFC and has denied any inclination towards free agency or otherwise.Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s next fight â€“ Who are the possible opponents for the UFC Star Most UFC fans are aware of the fact that &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; had his last octagon outing at UFC 264. After his gruesome shinbone injury in the bout against Dustin Poirier, McGregor was sidelined for an unprecedented amount of time. There were a lot of talks about 2023 being the year of his return. Several fans had also expected the same when McGregor was elected as one of the coaches for &#8216;The Ultimate Fighter&#8217; this year. As per the ritual, the two TUF coaches, McGregor and Michael Chandler were also pitted against each other for a bout that would also mark McGregor&#8217;s return to the octagon. But with &#8216;The Irishman&#8217; failing his USADA testing pool deadline, the entire bout is currently in jeopardy. McGregor and Chandler were scheduled to compete at the last PPV of 2023. Nonetheless, now that he is back at the testing pool, it seems that 2024 is really the year.Â Earlier, the UFC president Dana White sounded pretty keen to make this bout happen when he talked about exempting McGregor from the USADA. McGregor&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve announcement which he deemed himself as &#8220;The Greatest Comeback in Sports History,&#8221;Â has only added to the excitement of his fans. The only update we have so far is that on June 29th, 2024, &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; will be facing Michael Chandler and at a weight neither has ventured yet- 185 Lbs. Regardless, the UFC or head honcho Dana White is yet to provide any confirmation on the ordeal, and so far, no contracts have been signed. Given the lack of sufficient confirmation, Chandler has been outspoken about getting restless, and that he is not worried about fighting at a different weight.Â But, in an unpredictable sport like MMA, we will still have to wait and watch who exactly McGregor fights next. Conor McGregorâ€™s businesses and endorsements &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; is easily among the wealthiest mixed martial artists. He has huge endorsement deals and tie-ups with Monster Energy, Reebok, Beats Electronics, Burger King, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Budweiser. Additionally, McGregor has his clothing line, August McGregor, and his whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve. McGregor set foot into the spirits industry in September 2018 with his Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey. Initially, McGregor launched the product in the US and Ireland only. However, the success of the product had McGregor expressing his wishes to restock in the US and Ireland. via Getty McGregor also intended to introduce his whiskey into the markets of the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and Canada in 2019. However, in 2021 it was reported that McGregor and his partners had sold their shares of Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey to &#8216;Proximo Siprits&#8217; for a hefty $600M. READ MORE &#8211; Conor McGregor Arrest: What Case Is the UFC Star Involved In Now? Alongside all these, McGregor also owns a chain of pubs called the Black Forge Inn. They have several outlets in some of the noted cities of this world. However, McGregor&#8217;s Black Forge Inn pub in Dublin was subjected to an attack from criminals on 12 January 2022. The hooligans threw petrol bombs targeting the pub. Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident. McGregor also promised a cash reward to anyone identifying the criminals Conor McGregorâ€™s UFC careerÂ  McGregor made his professional debut as a lightweight in 2008. The Irishman made waves in the European MMA scene and finally found himself in Britain&#8217;s biggest promotion, The Cage Warriors. There he set up an 8 fight winning streak. In the same time frame, he became the Cage Warriors featherweight and lightweight double champion, the first European to do so. McGregor&#8217;s journey in the UFC is nothing but a fairy tale. He finished Marcus Brimage via knockout in his debut in 2013. After defeating the famed Max Holloway in his second bout, McGregor became a household name even to the UFC audience. His further wins against Dustin Poirier and Dennis Siver made sure that his demand to fight for the UFC Featherweight Championship was answered positively. But McGregor had to take on the Interim Featherweight Champion, Chad Mendes, before his title bout against the then-injured Featherweight kingpin, Jose Aldo. McGregor got the better of Mendes with a TKO in a neck-to-neck battle in UFC 189. He crowned himself the Interim Featherweight Champion, further justifying his Featherweight title shot. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; finally had his much-awaited Featherweight title bout against Jose Aldo at UFC 194. Most UFC fans would agree that McGregor delivered one of the most iconic performances in the history of the UFC that night. He knocked out the fan-favorite, Aldo, in just 13 seconds of the bout claiming his UFC Featherweight title. McGregor had his first UFC loss against the coveted Nate Diaz at UFC 196 when he decided to move up to the Welterweight division. Diaz landed a few clean strikes in the second round of the bout which made McGregor shoot for a double leg. However, the &#8216;Stockton Gangster&#8217; used his superb BJJ skills to transition it to a rear-naked choke and submitted McGregor at the 4:12 mark of the second round. But during their rematch at UFC 202, McGregor avenged his defeat. Post that, he also earned the lightweight belt by defeating then-champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205. But McGregor couldn&#8217;t defend his Featherweight title successfully even once as he was stripped of it on 26 November 2016. The UFC authorities blamed it on his inactivity and announced that he had vacated the title himself. However, McGregor&#8217;s associates said that he was stripped. Conor McGregor&#8217;s Fight Against Floyd Mayweather Jr. McGregor&#8217;s fame in the UFC had him venturing out into other avenues as well. In June 2017, a boxing bout between McGregor and the coveted undefeated boxer, Floyd Mayweather, was announced. The bout was expected to be the most cost-involved boxing matchup at that time. The earnings of Mayweather from the bout stood at a whopping $280M while &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; also earned a lump sum amount of $130M. via Getty However, McGregor didn&#8217;t quite have the outcome of his choice, as he was knocked out by Mayweather in the tenth round of the bout. But this bout earned him a lot of respect from the boxing community. Conor McGregorâ€™s Graphic Injury at UFC 264 Conor McGregor in his third fight against rival Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, had an immensely toxic buildup to the fight. One reason for the toxicity between the two is an unpaid charity pledge, which McGregor promised in their second fight at UFC 257.Â  Leading up to their fight at UFC 264, both McGregor and Poirier had one win over each other, and their fight at UFC 264 was supposed to be the tiebreaker. Ironically enough, this didnâ€™t seem to be the case, as the fight ended prematurely, with McGregor snapping his leg near the end of the very first round.Â  This led to Dustin Poirier Being termed the winner of the fight via Doctorâ€™s Stoppage. The injury has kept him out of action for over two years. However, the Irishman is finally aiming for a return in 2024. Despite the injury, McGregor has kept himself busy focusing on his outside of fighting.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s major achievements and awards Interim UFC Featherweight Championship against Chad Mendes at UFC 189, 2015 UFC Featherweight Championship against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 UFC Lightweight Championship against Eddie Alvarez via TKO, UFC 205, 2016 Fight of the Night (Two times) vs. Nate Diaz (x2) First Irish-born UFC champion Third Multi-Divisional Champion in UFC History (Featherweight, Lightweight) First simultaneous multi-divisional champion in UFC history (Featherweight, Lightweight) Fastest win in a UFC Championship fight (13 seconds) vs. JosÃ© Aldo Conor McGregor&#8217;s charity works Leaving aside the controversies, McGregor has done a lot of charity work for his community. He donated $1 million to first responders following the success of his whiskey brand. Moreover, McGregor also gave away 50,000 to help the homeless people of Ireland. In May 2020, McGregor donated 1.3 million worth of PPE to Irish hospitals to fight the battle against Coronavirus. Additionally, McGregor has inspired several fans including a disabled man to turn their lives around. In April 2021, McGregor donated $500,000 to The Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana. The Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana is involved in the growth and care of children from vulnerable houses and communities. Conor McGregorâ€™s shoe deal Mystic Mac teamed up with Reebok as a new addition to their brand campaign for their Zig Kinetica sneaker in 2020. The fighter also appeared in a commercial entering a room laden with toys here and there, eventually morphing into one of them by harnessing the power of the shoes and defeating the rogue toys. The tagline appears- â€˜sport the unexpected.â€™Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s house The UFC fighter, a family man, owns several houses, all worthy of a king. One is of course in his homeland, wherein he spent two million Euros for the lush The Paddocks near Straffan. The property boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and even a games room. Apart from that it faces River Liffey and even has a horse riding establishment.Â  He also owns a luxe property in Marbella, which is his holiday abode that came at a price of nearly 1.3 million Euros. A modern house that has been customized to the fighterâ€™s needs, it also offers picturesque views of the Mediterranean, only a doorstep away from the La Resina Golf Course. And of course, how can â€˜The Notoriousâ€™ skip the Sin City! The Mac Mansion sits only minutes away from the Vegas Strip, with seven bedrooms, a 50ft luxury pool, as well as its very own golf course.Â  And to nobodyâ€™s surprise, all his properties have customized gyms, and spas, that make sure McGregor can train anywhere he is.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s knockouts Hereâ€™s a list of McGregorâ€™s knockouts, starting from his latest win-Â  Against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246, 2020 Against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, 2016 Against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 Against Chad Mendes, UFC 189, 2015 Against Dennis Siver, UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Silver, 2015 Against Dustin Poirier, UFC 178, 2014 Against Diego Brandao, UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Brandao, 2014 Against Marcus Brimage, UFC on FUEL TV: Mousasi vs Latifi, 2014 How to contact Conor McGregor?

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Hulk Hogan: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</strong></h2>
<h2><b>Who is Hulk Hogan?Â </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Terry Gene Bollea, best known as Hulk Hogan, is a retired American professional wrestler. He is widely regarded as the most well-known wrestling star in the world, the most popular wrestler of the 1980s, and one of the best professional wrestlers of all time. He is a 12-time World Champion, having won six WWF/WWE Championships, six WCW World Heavyweight Championships, and a former WWE World Tag Team Champion alongside Edge.Â </span>
<h2><b>Hulk Hoganâ€™s Early LifeÂ </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Hogan was born on August 11, 1953, in Augusta, Georgia. His father, Pietro â€œPeterâ€ Bollea (1913 - 2001), was a construction foreman of Italian heritage, and his mother, Ruth V., was a homemaker and dance teacher. His older brother, Allan (1947-1986), died at the age of 38 due to a drug overdose. Hogan is of Panamanian, Scottish, and French heritage. As a child, he pitched in Little League Baseball and attended Robinson High School. Before he turned to pro wrestling, Hogan was also a musician, having spent a decade performing fretless bass guitar in many Florida-based rock bands. He went on to attend Hillsborough Community College and the University of South Florida. However, as his music tours got in the way of his studies, he dropped out of USF.</span>
<h2><b>Hulk Hoganâ€™s Wife and Children</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">On December 18, 1983, Hogan married Linda Claridge. They have a daughter, Brooke (born May 5, 1988) and a son, Nick (born July 27, 1990). After an alleged affair, Linda filed for divorce in 2007. Hulk Hogan began dating Jennifer McDaniel in early 2008. They were engaged in November 2009 and married on December 14, 2010, in Clearwater, Florida. On February 28, 2022, Hogan announced on Twitter that he and McDaniel had split.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Hogan became engaged to yoga instructor Sky Daily in July 2023, proposing during actor Corin Nemecâ€™s wedding celebration, and they married on September 22, 2023, just two months after announcing their engagement. Hogan and Daily had been dating for more than a year before he proposed.</span>
<h2><b>Hulk Hoganâ€™s Net Worth 2024 (Update)</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As per various sources, Hogan has a net worth of $25 million. His several years spent wrestling and acting in movies helped him earn vast sums. However, Hogan once revealed his lavish lifestyle, and divorce settlements almost bankrupted him.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Hogan once claimed in his autobiography that he earned $10 million per year during his time with WWE. The Hulkster is also the highest-paid WCW star in the organizationâ€™s history, earning $13.17 million between 1996 and 2000. His retirement compensation is estimated to be over $2.5 million.</span>
<h2><b>Hulk Hoganâ€™s Career Timeline</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Hogan has had a long and decorated career with the WWE. He made his professional wrestling debut in 1977 against Brian Blair in Fort Myers, Florida, for the CWF. Hogan stayed with the CWF for two years before signing with the WWF in 1979. Former NWA World Champion Terry Funk recommended Bollea to WWF president Vincent J. McMahon, who was impressed by his charm and physical presence. McMahon granted Bollea the last name, Hogan.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">During his first tenure with the WWF, Hogan faced wrestlers such as Harry Valdez and Ted DiBiase, and he also began his feud with Andre the Giant.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 1980, Hogan debuted in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), where he was known as Ichiban or Number 1. Hogan was also a member of All-American Wrestling at the time, and he filmed a few scenes for Rocky 3. against the wishes of McMahon. Most of his early success as a wrestler came from his time with NJPW.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He returned to the WWF in 1983 after Vincent K. McMahon bought the company from his father. McMahon wanted to promote the WWF nationwide, so he chose Hogan as the companyâ€™s face. January 1984 would take Hoganâ€™s success to new heights, as he won the WWF Championship against Iron Sheik for the first time.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Hogan was a part of some of the most significant moments in WWF history, but his crowning achievement undoubtedly occurred in 1987. Hogan battled Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III. After wrestling Andre for over ten minutes, Hogan slammed the 500-pound wrestler to secure the victory and defend his belt. In addition, Hogan became the first wrestler to win two consecutive Royal Rumble contests in 1990 and 1991.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Hulkster had a one-year stint with NJPW once again, which was followed by his debut in the WCW. He faced and defeated Ric Flair in his debut match to become the champion. Hogan would defend the belt for over a year before his reign came to an end in the 1995 Halloween Havoc. 1996 would usher in a new era for Hogan when he formed the New World Order (nWo). With them, he would battle in various tag team matches and even began a feud with fellow member Randy Savage. Till 1999, Hogan won and defended the belt many times. However, controversy soon erupted, and the WCW was demolished in 2001.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Following its demise, Hogan returned to the WWF in 2002. He returned with the nWo, but the trio would soon collapse at WrestleMania X8. His return would be short-lived, as he had another small stint with NJPW before signing on with TNA. He was set to wrestle, but due to constant injuries, he never made his official appearance in the TNA.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He once again returned to the WWE in 2005, which saw him inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Hogan did not participate in many matches during his two-year stint with them, but he fought his final fight against Randy Orton in the 2006 SummerSlam.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Hulkster then appeared in Memphis Wrestling, followed by another return to TNA. He did not compete in matches initially, but he could not resist the lure of the ring for long. His storyline followed many tangents, including one where he was the owner of the TNA. But 2014 would have him return to the WWE. A racism scandal forced his departure in 2014.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">2018 would have him reinstated in the WWE Hall of Fame. He is currently employed by them and manages a team against Flair. Since then, he has made special appearances, opened major events, and co-hosted with the commentary team.Â Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Aside from his wrestling career, Hogan has appeared in many movies over the years. Gremlins 2, Rocky 3, No Holds Barred, Thunder in Paradise 1, 2, and 3, Mr. Nanny, Assault on Devilâ€™s Island, Assault on Death Mountain, and more.Â Â </span>
<h2><b>Hulk Hoganâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsement</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Hulk Hogan has endorsed numerous brands throughout the years. His endorsements could be seen in film plugs, television appearances, games, and more. He has signed deals with Rent-A-Center, Hoganâ€™s Nutrition, Loan Mart, and other companies. Hulk has also promoted several cafÃ©s, including Pasta-mania (1995-1996), The Mass Hogan Ultimate Grill, Hogan Energy, Hoganâ€™s Hangout, and others.</span>
<h2><b>Hulk Hoganâ€™s Career Stats</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Hogan has won 192 matches for the WWF/WWE and 76 for the WCW, and lost 45 for the WWF /WWE and 67 with the WCW. He has drawn a combined 25 matches for all three organizations.</span>
<h2><b>Hulk Hoganâ€™s Records</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">A 2 time Royal Rumble winner who won it consecutively (1990,1991). 6-time WWE/WWF Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion and 6-time WCW Heavyweight Champion.</span>

Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More Who is Hulk Hogan?Â  Terry Gene Bollea, best known as Hulk Hogan, is a retired American professional wrestler. He is widely regarded as the most well-known wrestling star in the world, the most popular wrestler of the 1980s, and one of the best professional wrestlers of all time. He is a 12-time World Champion, having won six WWF/WWE Championships, six WCW World Heavyweight Championships, and a former WWE World Tag Team Champion alongside Edge.Â  Hulk Hoganâ€™s Early LifeÂ  Hogan was born on August 11, 1953, in Augusta, Georgia. His father, Pietro â€œPeterâ€ Bollea (1913 &#8211; 2001), was a construction foreman of Italian heritage, and his mother, Ruth V., was a homemaker and dance teacher. His older brother, Allan (1947-1986), died at the age of 38 due to a drug overdose. Hogan is of Panamanian, Scottish, and French heritage. As a child, he pitched in Little League Baseball and attended Robinson High School. Before he turned to pro wrestling, Hogan was also a musician, having spent a decade performing fretless bass guitar in many Florida-based rock bands. He went on to attend Hillsborough Community College and the University of South Florida. However, as his music tours got in the way of his studies, he dropped out of USF. Hulk Hoganâ€™s Wife and Children On December 18, 1983, Hogan married Linda Claridge. They have a daughter, Brooke (born May 5, 1988) and a son, Nick (born July 27, 1990). After an alleged affair, Linda filed for divorce in 2007. Hulk Hogan began dating Jennifer McDaniel in early 2008. They were engaged in November 2009 and married on December 14, 2010, in Clearwater, Florida. On February 28, 2022, Hogan announced on Twitter that he and McDaniel had split. Hogan became engaged to yoga instructor Sky Daily in July 2023, proposing during actor Corin Nemecâ€™s wedding celebration, and they married on September 22, 2023, just two months after announcing their engagement. Hogan and Daily had been dating for more than a year before he proposed. Hulk Hoganâ€™s Net Worth 2024 (Update) As per various sources, Hogan has a net worth of $25 million. His several years spent wrestling and acting in movies helped him earn vast sums. However, Hogan once revealed his lavish lifestyle, and divorce settlements almost bankrupted him.Â  Hogan once claimed in his autobiography that he earned $10 million per year during his time with WWE. The Hulkster is also the highest-paid WCW star in the organizationâ€™s history, earning $13.17 million between 1996 and 2000. His retirement compensation is estimated to be over $2.5 million. Hulk Hoganâ€™s Career Timeline Hogan has had a long and decorated career with the WWE. He made his professional wrestling debut in 1977 against Brian Blair in Fort Myers, Florida, for the CWF. Hogan stayed with the CWF for two years before signing with the WWF in 1979. Former NWA World Champion Terry Funk recommended Bollea to WWF president Vincent J. McMahon, who was impressed by his charm and physical presence. McMahon granted Bollea the last name, Hogan. During his first tenure with the WWF, Hogan faced wrestlers such as Harry Valdez and Ted DiBiase, and he also began his feud with Andre the Giant. In 1980, Hogan debuted in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), where he was known as Ichiban or Number 1. Hogan was also a member of All-American Wrestling at the time, and he filmed a few scenes for Rocky 3. against the wishes of McMahon. Most of his early success as a wrestler came from his time with NJPW. He returned to the WWF in 1983 after Vincent K. McMahon bought the company from his father. McMahon wanted to promote the WWF nationwide, so he chose Hogan as the companyâ€™s face. January 1984 would take Hoganâ€™s success to new heights, as he won the WWF Championship against Iron Sheik for the first time.Â  Hogan was a part of some of the most significant moments in WWF history, but his crowning achievement undoubtedly occurred in 1987. Hogan battled Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III. After wrestling Andre for over ten minutes, Hogan slammed the 500-pound wrestler to secure the victory and defend his belt. In addition, Hogan became the first wrestler to win two consecutive Royal Rumble contests in 1990 and 1991. The Hulkster had a one-year stint with NJPW once again, which was followed by his debut in the WCW. He faced and defeated Ric Flair in his debut match to become the champion. Hogan would defend the belt for over a year before his reign came to an end in the 1995 Halloween Havoc. 1996 would usher in a new era for Hogan when he formed the New World Order (nWo). With them, he would battle in various tag team matches and even began a feud with fellow member Randy Savage. Till 1999, Hogan won and defended the belt many times. However, controversy soon erupted, and the WCW was demolished in 2001.Â  Following its demise, Hogan returned to the WWF in 2002. He returned with the nWo, but the trio would soon collapse at WrestleMania X8. His return would be short-lived, as he had another small stint with NJPW before signing on with TNA. He was set to wrestle, but due to constant injuries, he never made his official appearance in the TNA.Â  He once again returned to the WWE in 2005, which saw him inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Hogan did not participate in many matches during his two-year stint with them, but he fought his final fight against Randy Orton in the 2006 SummerSlam. The Hulkster then appeared in Memphis Wrestling, followed by another return to TNA. He did not compete in matches initially, but he could not resist the lure of the ring for long. His storyline followed many tangents, including one where he was the owner of the TNA. But 2014 would have him return to the WWE. A racism scandal forced his departure in 2014.Â  2018 would have him reinstated in the WWE Hall of Fame. He is currently employed by them and manages a team against Flair. Since then, he has made special appearances, opened major events, and co-hosted with the commentary team.Â Â  Aside from his wrestling career, Hogan has appeared in many movies over the years. Gremlins 2, Rocky 3, No Holds Barred, Thunder in Paradise 1, 2, and 3, Mr. Nanny, Assault on Devilâ€™s Island, Assault on Death Mountain, and more.Â Â  Hulk Hoganâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsement Hulk Hogan has endorsed numerous brands throughout the years. His endorsements could be seen in film plugs, television appearances, games, and more. He has signed deals with Rent-A-Center, Hoganâ€™s Nutrition, Loan Mart, and other companies. Hulk has also promoted several cafÃ©s, including Pasta-mania (1995-1996), The Mass Hogan Ultimate Grill, Hogan Energy, Hoganâ€™s Hangout, and others.
