Divorce papers reveal Hulk Hogan’s net worth

CLEARWATER, Fla. – Thousands of dollars spent on clothing, grooming and vacations are among the average monthly expenses for Hulk Hogan’s wife, according to financial affidavits filed in the couple’s impending divorce case near Tampa.

Linda Bollea’s monthly expenses include $7,258 on clothing; $1,318 on grooming; $6,100 on vacations, the documents state. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, spends $102 on clothing by comparison, and more than $38,000 on legal and accounting fees.

The couple disagrees over Hogan’s net worth; Hogan claims it is $32 million, while his wife, Linda, claims it is $26.7 million. Meanwhile, their son Nick is serving an eight-month jail sentence for causing a traffic crash that left a passenger permanently disabled.

Well, for one, if only I could afford to spend six large on vacations every month. If only my yearly clothes budget was $7K, instead of $7.

I’m confused over the fact that Hogan’s insisting his net worth is more than his wife says it is. It seems the logical thing would be to opt for the lower number, so she could lay claim to less. But really, isn’t it the last sentence that’s just awkward?
