WWE legend Hulk Hogan allegedly kept a multi-million-dollar secret hidden away from his ex-wife, Linda. Following the passing of The Hulkster, speculations began over who would inherit his large fortune, reported to be $37 million.
While the rumors ran rampant over the details of the wealth left behind by Hogan, it has been claimed that the former WWE Champion stashed away millions in a bank account hidden from his ex-wife.
This was revealed by Bubba the Love Sponge on his TheBubbaArmy YouTube channel. The popular radio host recalled an incident when Hogan handed him a credit card to draw some money, and to his surprise, it turned out that the late pro wrestler had a hefty amount in that account.
“So he needed some cash, so, he gives me this credit card. goes, ‘There’s this kayfabe account Linda doesn’t even know about, brother. I don’t know how much is in it, but see if you can get $500 out of it,’” Bubba said. [From 8:22-8:35]
Even though Hogan had forgotten the PIN for the card, a lucky guess from Bubba unlocked what seemed to be a fortune. To his surprise, Bubba discovered that the account had $4.125 million. When he relayed this to Hogan, he was equally shocked.
“I go ‘Hogan there’s $4.25 million and like 87 cents.’ He goes, ‘For real?’ I go, ‘Yeah.'” [From 11:58-12:07]

According to Bubba, this account had the money from a merchandising deal between Hogan and Vince McMahon. Hulk Hogan married Linda Hogan, his first wife, in 1983 before settling a divorce in 2009.
