Introduction

Hogan’s net worth is roughly $25 Million, which makes him one of the richest wrestlers in the world.

Hulk Hogan is one of the most recognized names in wrestling. He is a twelve-time world champion, a six-time WWF Champion, and a six-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Hogan also has a notable acting career, with movies like Mr. Nanny.

Early Life

Hulk Hogan was born Terry Eugene Bolla on August 11, 1953, in Augusta, Georgia. His family moved to Port Tampa, Florida, where he became involved in baseball.

An injury ended his baseball career, but not before he caught the attention of scouts from the New York Yankees and Cincinnati Reds. At 16, he began watching pro wrestling and looked up to Dusty Rhodes.

Hogan dropped out of college to play bass for the band Ruckus, which became popular in the Tampa Bay region. His band played in several bars, and his size caught the attention of Jack and Gerald Brisco, brothers who wrestled together.

The Briscos asked a Florida-based trainer for Championship Wrestling to train Hogan. He began wrestling under the persona of “The Super Destroyer” before leaving the CWF and going on to wrestle in a duo called Terry and Ed Boulder.

Career Overview

Hulk Hogan started his professional wrestling career in 1979, and he defeated Ted DiBiase in his first appearance at Madison Square Garden.

In 1980, he started appearing in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, where he was nicknamed Ichiban, which means “Number One.” A year later, after accepting an offer to work on Rocky III, Hogan debuted with the American Wrestling Association. He quickly became a fan favorite, and the following year, he defeated Nick Bockwinkel to become the new AWA World Heavyweight Champion.

1983 saw the rise of Hulkamania, and Hogan’s similarity to The Incredible Hulk led to a quitclaim deal between Hogan and Marvel Comics. While he wasn’t quite one of the richest wrestlers in the world at this point, his growing popularity quickly increased his net worth.

A Successful Wrestling Career

By 1984, Hulk Hogan had become a pop culture icon. He was even named the most-requested celebrity of the 1980s for the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

At Wrestlemania in 1987, Hogan was booked to take on Andre the Giant, and he ultimately beat him to defend the World Heavyweight title. Hogan landed a bodyslam on the 520-pound Giant during this match, dubbed “the body slam heard worldwide.” Soon after, Hogan teamed up with “Macho Man” Randy Savage to help him defeat Ted DiBiase at WrestleMania IV.

By the end of the 80s, he went on to defend his title from Savage but lost both times before defeating The Big Boss Man.

In 1990, Hogan entered into a feud with Earthquake, who had crushed Hogan’s ribs on The Brother Love Show early that year. Eventually, he defeated Earthquake and became known as “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan, the first to win two Royal Rumble matches in a row. A few years later, Hogan started another feud with Lex Luger and The Giant after they defeated him and Dennis Rodman at Bash at the Beach.

A Household Name

By 2000, Hulk Hogan had become a household name, even to those who had never watched his wrestling matches.

At No Way Out in 2002, Hogan got into a confirmation with The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin for a chance to become the WWF Champion. Soon after, she started a feud with Triple H and then defeated him to become the Undisputed WWF Champion, the last in the series’ history.

However, once the WWF was changed to the WWE, Hogan lost his title to The Undertaker, which led to a feud with Kurt Angle. As a result of this feud, Brock Lesner got involved, and during the April 2002 episode of Smackdown, he defeated Hogan, leaving him unconscious.

Hogan then went on a hiatus until early 2003, when he returned to take on The Rock again at No Way Out. That same year, he left WWE and began performing for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, but he ultimately returned to WWE two years later.

In 2005, Hulk Hogan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by Sylvester Stallone, and a year later, Hogan inducted Gene Okerlund.

Scandals And Returns

From 2009 to 2013, Hulk Hogan returned to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, before making his fourth return to the WWE. On Raw in 2014, he made his first appearance since 2007 to introduce Arnold Schwarzenegger and Joe Manganiello as guests.

A year later, the National Enquirer publicized Hogan’s 2007 anti-black rant, which led to a huge media scandal. This led to the WWE terminating his contract, while Mattel stopped producing action figures with his likeness, despite Hogan’s pleas for forgiveness.

Although he was sidelined for a few years, Hulk Hogan returned to WWE in 2018, when he was reinstated into its Hall of Fame. While he hoped to have at least one more match in the WWE, he has only made appearances outside of matches thus far.

In 2021, he co-hosted WrestleMania 37 with Titus O’Neil and in 2023 he appeared to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Raw.

Gawker Lawsuit

In 2012, Hulk Hogan sued Gawker Media, a gossip news website, for $140.1 million for violating his personal privacy.

This came about through a secretly recorded video involving Hogan and his best friend’s (Bubba the Love Sponge) wife having consensual sex. Then, Gawker somehow got their hands on the video and decided to post a two-minute edited clip on the front page of their website for millions of people to see.

After seeing this, Hogan asked Gawker to remove the video immediately, but they refused. This fueled Hogan’s lawsuit filing, claiming it was posted without his permission and caused him long-term humiliation.

Unbeknown to Gawker, Hogan’s lawsuit was funded by Tech Billionaire Peter Thiel, who had a personal score to settle with Gawker’s CEO, Nick Denton, for publishing an article outing him as gay in 2007. Thiel also disliked how many lives Gawker ruined through their content and vowed to do all he could to help other victims defend themselves from Gawker’s attacks.

A jury later awarded Hogan a $140.1 million judgment, broken down into a $115 million verdict against Gawker, $60 million in emotional distress, $55 million in economic damages, and $25.1 million in punitive damages. However, this was not the final amount Hogan received, as Gawker appealed and was forced into bankruptcy. The case reached a final settlement of $31 million in June 2021.

Meanwhile, the suit proved too costly for Gawker and Nick Denton on a personal level, as much of his net worth was tied up in the company; therefore, he had to file for personal bankruptcy later the same year.

Fast forward to 2024, Hogan, Ben Affleck, and Matt Damon are all working on the “Killing Gawker” movie, but it’s unknown when it will be released.

Estimated Net Worth

Hulk Hogan’s net worth is estimated at $25 Million.

Whilst the legend that is Hulk Hogan is retired these days, there were times when he made millions per year.

While we have precise salary information for approximately 26 films Julie Roberts has starred in, we also have estimates of her combined annual income history from all sources. From the figures above, it’s clear that for Roberts, the early 2000s were the peak of her career, with her earning as much as $50 million in 2000. She was somewhat absent from the industry in the mid-2000s, which led to a drop in earnings, down to an estimated $8 million/year for 2005 and 2006.

Between 2010 and 2018, Roberts typically earned between $12 million and $20 million annually, thanks to impressive paydays from Eat, Pray, Love, Mother’s Day, and Wonder. However, she was no longer commanding the $20+ million per film figure she used to.

2017	Wonder	$6,000,000
2023	Leave the World Behind	$25,000,000
Total Calculated Earnings:		$260,440,000

In the late 1980s, Julia Roberts earned under six figures per film, with paydays of $50,000 for Mystic Pizza (1988) and $90,000 for Steel Magnolias (1989). A year later, when she starred in Pretty Woman, which was arguably the film that launched her mainstream career, Roberts reportedly earned $300,000. The film’s success dramatically increased her earning potential, and before long, she received a $1 million payday for starring in Sleeping With the Enemy. That same year, Roberts also reportedly earned $3 million from Dying Young and $7 million from Hook.

In the mid-late 1990s, Roberts reached a stage where she was being paid upwards of $10 million per film. Her first recorded eight-figure payday came in 1997, when she earned $12 million for My Best Friend’s Wedding. To close out the decade, she received $11 million for Conspiracy Theory (1997), $15 million for Notting Hill (1999), and $17 million for Runaway Bride (1999).

As we briefly mentioned above, the early 2000s were some of the best years of Julia Roberts’ career. This is primarily due to her joining the $20+ million club with roles in Erin Brockovich, The Mexican, and Closer. During this time, her highest-recorded payday was $25 million for starring in Mona Lisa Smile (2003).

There was a short lull in the mid-2000s, but Roberts returned with a $15 million payday for 2009’s Duplicity, followed by $10 million for starring in Eat, Pray Love a year later. From then on, her earnings dropped to between $3 million and $6 million per film.

However, she recently made another comeback in 2023, starring in Leave the World Behind, for which she reportedly received $25 million. This brings Roberts’ earnings for all of her publicly known salaries, if we include her Homecoming salary (more on that below), to a total of $266.4 million. Of course, many films are missing from the list, so the actual number should be significantly higher.

Homecoming Salary

According to a report from Variety, Roberts was paid an estimated $650,000 per episode to star in Homecoming. They initially estimated her salary at $600,000 per episode in 2018 but increased this figure in their 2019 report. The show aired ten episodes in 2018, earning her $6 million.

Highest-Grossing Movies

The majority of Roberts’ highest-grossing films came between 1999 and 2001, the same period during which she made the most money. Those films include Ocean’s Eleven (2001), which grossed $451 million; Notting Hill (1999), which grossed $364 million; Runaway Bride (1999), which grossed $309 million; and Erin Brockovich (2000), which grossed $256 million.

However, none of those films performed better than 1990’s Pretty Woman, which grossed $463 million. The film only cost $14 million to produce, which gave it the highest ROI of Roberts’ career. Other films to make the list include Ocean’s Twelve ($363 million), Wonder ($315 million), and Hook ($301 million).

Here’s a complete list of Julia Roberts’ ten highest-grossing movies:

Pretty Woman – $463 million (1990)
Ocean’s Eleven – $451 million (2001)
Notting Hill – $364 million (1999)
Ocean’s Twelve – $363 million (2004)
Wonder – $315 million (2017)
Runaway Bride – $309 million (1999)
Hook – $301 million (1991)
My Best Friend’s Wedding – $299 million (1997)
Erin Brockovich – $256 million (2000)
Valentine’s Day – $217 million (2010)

Real Estate

The actress likes to invest some of her fortune in real estate, and she owns some incredible properties in the US. She also likes to spend her money on other lavish things, such as clothes. Julia Roberts is the proud owner of a $7 million mansion in Malibu and a lavish apartment in New York, worth a total of $3,8 million.
