The Hulkster is undoubtedly one of the most popular superstars in WWE. Also, the vast fandom that continues to worship him even after his retirement is unreal. The most prominent icon in the 80s and the latter portion of the 1990s, the halcyon Attitude Era, Hulk Hogan, has won a long list of accolades in WWE itself, let alone NWA and WCW.

But off the ring, there is no other superstar who has evoked more controversy than Hogan. He has gotten into quite a few storms on various occasions outside the arena in his lifetime. Looking at his personal life, his long marriage with Linda Claridge certainly did not have a happy ending, at least for The Hulkster. Let’s dive into how divorce cost the WWE legend way more money compared to actor, Johnny Depp.

Inside the squared circle, Terry Eugene Bollea aka Hulk Hogan is a certified megastar. He dominated two crucial eras in professional wrestling entertainment, and there’s no doubt Vince McMahon owes a significant part of his success to the one with two 24-inch pythons. Surprising or not, The Hulkamania’s personal life has been a train-wreck on multiple occasions.

The Hollywood Hogan married Linda Claridge in the 80s when he was the ultimate baby face of wrestling entertainment. They had a 24-year-long marriage that eventually came to an end because of an affair and followed chaos. However, the divorce lawsuit filed by Claridge ended up with Bollea paying her around $10 million. Also, he lost more assets in the form of properties and vehicles.
