Hulk Hogan's wife seeks over $4.5m in divorce

Hulk Hogan's estranged wife Linda is seeking half of the couple's $9.5m (¤6.4m) in assets, including a share of the value of their Bel Air mansion according to reports.

Yesterday, it was reported that the wife of the wrestler and reality TV star, whose real name is Terry Bollea, has filed for divorce.

In her divorce filing Mrs Bollea, who appeared with her husband and their children in reality series 'Hogan Knows Best', calls the 24-year marriage "irretrievably broken," the St Petersburg Times reports.

Citing the divorce petition filed in Florida's Pinellas Pasco Circuit Court, the newspaper says the 46-year-old wants to share parental responsibility for their son Nick, 17, with whom she hopes to live with while her husband has "liberal" visitation rights.

The couple's eldest child, daughter Brooke Hogan, 19, is not legally subject to child support requirements.

Linda is also seeking to split the couple's assets, which include the 17,000-square-foot Bel Air mansion where the family primarily live and a 3,474-square-foot home in Clearwater Beach, Florida, as well as a condo under construction in Las Vegas.

The two existing homes alone are worth nearly $9.5m (¤6.4m), the petition says.
