Despite ending and restarting his career several times, Hulk Hogan (Terry Gene Bollea) has remained a newsworthy figure. Whether it’s his kids going wild or his sex tape, Hogan seems to be able to stay culturally relevant. His recent invasion-of-privacy lawsuit victory over online gossip outlet Gawker has effectively put the website out of business — and helped bring in a lot of money for the retired wrestler. Hogan is one of several wrestling icons, and perhaps the most well known. Although he was most popular in the 1980s and 1990s, he managed to rule the ring enough to become an American cultural figure. Although he was worth $80 million in the early 2000s, Hogan’s nasty, and very public divorce nearly sent him into bankruptcy. It should come as no surprise that Hogan was very adamant about suing Gawker. The $110 million awarded him by the court should go a long way in helping him to restore his lost wealth and continue his rather lavish lifestyle. Hogan briefly returned to pro wrestling in 2014. However, his public use of a few racial slurs led the WWE to end his contract and wipe his existence from their website.
