Hulk Hogan thinks he knows best when it comes to his net worth – in financial affidavits filed in divorce court near Tampa, Fla., the wrestler, real name Terry Bollea, claims he’s worth $32 million. However his estranged wife Linda Hogan puts his value at $26.7 million.

Money seems to be flying everywhere during the couple’s highly publicized divorce fight – Hulk says he’s dishing out $38,000 per month to pay his legal fees, while Linda is putting down $7,000 on clothing, $7,500 on maid service and about $1,700 on jewelry each month, according to the AP.

While the Hogans duke it out in the courtroom, their son Nick Hogan is in jail as part of his eight-month sentence after being sentenced for causing the crash that permanently disabled his friend John Graziano.

Hulk Hogan and Linda Bollea are embroiled in a nasty divorce, but the WWE wrestler revealed Friday, he wishes they were still married.

“As crazy as that sounds to say, I wish I was still with my wife,” Hogan told Access Hollywood’s Maria Menounos.

After 23 years of marriage, Bollea, 48, surprised Hogan, 54, last November by filing for divorce. (He learned of the split from a newspaper reporter.)

Hogan shot down rumors that he and Bollea parted ways to protect their assets after a law suit was filed by the family of the boy permanently injured in their son Nick Bollea’s car wreck.

“If this is a ploy, her being intimate with a 19-year-old kid is pretty good acting,” Hogan said. “For me to be able to handle… my 50-year-old wife sleeping in a bed with a 19-year-old boyfriend and using my gym, and driving my cars, and living in my house. I guess we’ve got a pretty good act going on ‘cause that’s a lot to take on.”

According to Hogan, the divorce was Bollea’s idea.

“It wasn’t an argument, it was, ‘Hey, I don’t love you, I don’t want to be with you, I don’t want to see you anymore.’ It was the real deal,” Hogan told Menounos.

Since then, the two have been engaged in a messy legal war.

“Without a doubt, this one is the most formidable opponent I’ve ever run into,” Hogan recently told Usmagazine.com.

“You talk about dirty tricks: Brass knuckles, steel knuckles, cheap shots, tripping people up. I’ve never seen anybody in the wrestling business that has more dirty tricks than she does!” he added. “I guess I taught her well.”

How long will they be battling in court?

“This is a simple divorce – there’s no custody, there’s just a big pile of junk that we’ve accumulated. We should split it,” Hogan told Menounos.”But my wife’s lawyer has told different magazines there’s gonna be a war.”

Hogan continued, “This is the money that I saved for my family, and money that Linda could walk away with, money that I saved for my children, that they’re just, they’re just wasting [it] and burning [it] up.”

Brooke Hogan has issued a public apology after accusing her father of abusing her mom.

The pop star admits the allegations she made against her dad were false.

She says, “I did it under significant pressure from my mother. It was only after I learned all the facts that I realised I made a big mistake in signing it.”

The Hogans split last year and the 20 year old sided with her mother, Linda Bollea, in a messy divorce battle between the former couple.

She reportedly signed a legal affidavit accusing her father, real name Terry Bollea, of verbally and physically abusing her mother during their marriage.

But the singer has since fallen out with her mom after learning Linda was dating a teenager, who was a year below her in high school, and now she’s offering a statement to apologize for vilifying her dad.

Brooke admits to signing the affidavit, but immediately regretted her decision and asked for it not to be filed in court.

Her rep says, “The months-old document was signed by Brooke at a time when she was upset with her father.”

Brooke, who now lives with her father, adds, “Using kids as pawns in a divorce is awful. Every day my mother resorts to this kind of behavior makes it that much harder for us to ever have a relationship again.”

The acrimonious split between the Hogans has gotten even nastier.

Linda Hogan filed court documents on June 30 seeking to prevent her estranged husband from harassing her. In the documents, first reported by TMZ.com, Linda Hogan, 48, claims that Hulk Hogan, 54, “relentlessly and methodically” follows her, “causing her anxiety and fear for her safety at all times.” The motion also claims that Hulk “has a history of violence” towards Linda, “and is capable of attacking [her] at any time.”

In a statement, David Houston, a lawyer for Hulk (whose real name is Terry Bollea) shot back: “Linda Bollea’s allegations are pure fantasy, in line with her recent 911 call that has been widely played in the media.

“On May 22, Linda called 911 claiming Hulk was stalking her, which Hulk vehemently denied. Since November, Terry Bollea has been in Los Angeles working. The limited time that he has spent in Florida has been solely to visit his son and daughter. In addition, he has no history of violence.”

The documents are the latest salvo in the contentious divorce. When Linda filed for divorce in November, Hulk learned of the filing from a reporter. The couple has wrangled over assets and traded barbs, although Hogan told PEOPLE last month that he unconditionally loves Linda.

It’s been a rough year for the Hogans. In addition to the split, 17-year-old Nick is serving eight months in jail for a felony charge of reckless driving, stemming from an accident that seriously injured family friend John Graziano.

Hulk Hogan has declared his unconditional love for estranged wife Linda Bollea - despite the pair’s increasingly bitter divorce proceedings.

The wrestling icon - real name Terry Bollea - split from his wife last November - after 23 years of marriage.

And the former couple has faced a string of devastating difficulties since their separation, including the imprisonment of their 17-year-old son Nick, is serving an eight-month prison sentence at Florida’s Pinellas County Jail following a car crash which left his friend John Graziano brain damaged.

As an added embarrassment for the Bollea family, Linda is currently dating a teenager 29 years her junior - prompting failed singer daughter Brooke to publicly lambaste her mom’s choices.

However, despite their grievances, Bollea insists his love for his longtime partner has not faltered.

He tells People.com, “I unconditionally love my wife, even though we’re not together anymore. The Linda that I know was a great mother and a great person.”

And the star claims to have resolved his issues with daughter Brooke, who was left devastated by her parents split, her brother’s incarceration and her mum’s consequent relationship with a 19-year-old.

He adds, “She (Brooke) was a little confused about who everybody was, and maybe had misinformation, but right now Brooke understands who I am, and who her mom is, and what’s real and not real. She’s doing real well now.”

Linda Hogan wants Hulk to spend time with Nick — behind bars.

Linda is asking a judge to cite the Hulkster with contempt of court, because he allegedly didn’t ante up money for a $4.2 million Vegas condo, as required by the judge. Yes, the judge ordered Hulk to pay for a party pad. We love the law.

The condo was in escrow when the divorce was filed and the court order required both Hulk and Linda to close the deal and then put the asset in the community pot. Linda has put her share in but Hulk hasn’t.

And here’s the kicker. In the legal papers, Linda is asking the judge to throw Hulk’s ass in the Pinellas County Jail, where Hulk and Nick can sure scheme to hatch the post-pokey real-ality show. Dis and gusting.
