Hulk Hogan | House Tour | His Beautiful Florida Mansions

Hulk Hogan is best known as a former wrestler, actor and reality television star, and with his success he's snagged some pretty nice Florida real estate over the years. Back in 1992, Hulk paid 2 million dollars for a waterfront property in Bel Air, Florida. In 2014, Hulk paid 3 million dollars for a home in nearby Clearwater, Florida. In 2016, he paid 1.6 million dollars for the home next door. The first home was demolished, and he spent the next several years building an opulent mansion in its space that encompassed more than 17,000 square feet. And fun fact, this is the home that viewers saw on his reality show Hogan Knows Best. The latter is Hulk's more modest real estate purchase, downsizing to a 2,000 square foot home with features like a beachfront deck among the sand dunes and panoramic views. Today we'll check out Hulk's properties past and present, and they're way too nice to miss. In these videos we don't reveal any addresses, and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Hulk Hogan has quite the lucrative career in professional wrestling and show business, garnering a net worth of 45 million dollars. While that number may seem a little low considering his real estate portfolio, there are a few factors at play. He had a lawsuit against Gawker due to an infidelity scandal where he was seeking 140 million dollars and only received 31 mil. Hogan had also lost tens of millions of dollars to his ex-wife Linda during the divorce because of infidelity. Finally, Hogan admits to spending hundreds of millions on an extremely lavish lifestyle at the peak of his career in the 1990s. Hogan has been credited as turning professional. In addition, Hogan has always been a very savvy merchandiser and marketer, and has a variety of different businesses under his belt. In 1995 he opened up Pasta Mania, his own signature pasta restaurant. In 2008 he came out with his own energy drink called Hogan Energy, and sometime after that In 2012 he opened up Hogan's Beach in Tampa and Hogan's Hangout in nearby Clearwater Beach. After making bank, Hogan was able to spread his real estate seed throughout Florida in a big way. His first purchase was in 1992, the Waterfront property in Beller, Florida, and in the loom of his divorce with ex-wife Linda, the home was originally listed for 26 million dollars. Two years later, the financial crisis and real estate downturn struck, and by this point, the two had separated and were looking to liquidate assets so they could split and move forward. In August 2009, the price was lowered to 13.9 million dollars. The price was chopped again and again, until Hulk finally accepted 6.2 million dollars in April 2012, which was 19 million dollars less than the original asking price. Since then, Hogan has begun to rebuild his net worth and snagged a couple of nice properties side by side in Clearwater. Hey, life isn't so difficult after all for good old Hulk Hogan. Hey guys, it's Karen. Today we're bringing you another house tour here on Famous Entertainment. I noticed a bunch of you watching aren't subscribed, so be sure to hit that subscribe button cause we post a new video daily. Today we're looking at where the one and only Hulk Hogan calls home in the sunny state of Florida, including his over-the-top former mansion featured on his reality show, and his current estate in Clearwater. As always, don't forget to follow me on Instagram to chat, and now let's get into this video. Whoever managed to hold out and snag this 17,000 square foot mansion for only 6.2 million dollars is an absolute genius. This mega mansion, built with detailed craftsmanship and an abundance of luxe features, is all you'd ever need. Hogan's custom-built home also boasts views of the world-renowned intercoastal waterway and Clearwater Pass to the Gulf of Mexico. Hulk bought this property way back in 1992 for only 2 million dollars, but proceeded to demolish the original structure and build the home of his dreams in its place. This was completed in 1996, and it was no doubt the mansion we saw on his reality show Hogan Knows Best. Hogan's former estate was located in Bel Air, Florida, a gorgeous town right on the water. The home featured a waterfront pool with a two-tier waterfall set on a flagstone terrace overlooking stunning views of Sand Key and Clearwater Beach. For those who get bored of the pool-waterfall business can enjoy a number of other amenities, including an outdoor kitchen and barbeque area, outdoor bar and entertainment system. That's a pool party I would want to be at, that's for sure. This mega mansion does not mess around, and there was also a guest apartment and boathouse to ensure a comfortable luxury stay, even for guests. Hulk's previous estate had over 1.5 acres of manicured landscaping with century oaks and a gentle rolling lawn leading to the property's private beachfront. Here there was a dock with two boat lifts and parking with a lift for ski jets. Inside the mansion boasted a warm and comforting environment, and the gourmet family kitchen was decked out with stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, and an island perfectly centered. In addition, it featured an abundance of custom cabinets with an adjoining butler's pantry. There was also a comfy breakfast bar, high exposed wood beam ceiling, and spacious layout. Next door was the dining area, decked out in custom cabinets, a cozy fireplace, and elegant chandelier soaring overhead. The design gives the homeowner and visitors a comfortable restaurant-style dining space away from whoever's cooking and doing the meal prep. This one-of-a-kind manor home was patterned after the look of northern Bavarian country homes. There were ample living areas, and each room was designed to feel open with an inspiring style of luxury country living, which made the estate truly unique, especially for Florida. Fireplaces are a common feature found inside of the home, and there are a total of 5 throughout. Two lavish bedroom suites and a large private exercise room with an adjoining glass-enclosed spa is perfect for work-hard and play-hard lifestyles. I mean, with the size of this estate, you would expect a large master bedroom, and that is exactly where Hogan used to lay his head. His incredible two-level former master suite featured a super large living area of its own, and private spare rooms were included as part of the oversized master. In addition, the master suite featured lavish furnishings, yet another cozy fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows, and walk-in closets big enough to be another room in the home. Connected to the bedroom is a grand en-suite bathroom with a separate his-and-hers bath that boasts spectacular views and a stand-in shower. The massive mansion even had a 4-bedroom guest apartment located over the 4-car garage, and elsewhere a 2-room playhouse. In addition, the former Hogan residence has a few other goodies including a tanning salon, indoor and outdoor hot tub, a media games room decked out with leather furnishings, screening room, billiards and pool table, wine cellar, and a bar for those that fancy a cocktail. When it came time to sell, Hogue's home was originally listed for $26 million, but like I said, after more than one big price chop, he finally accepted $6.2 million in April 2012 for the home. This was a big loss, and $19 million less than the original listing price. Despite the loss on that custom mega home, Hogue decided to add to his real estate portfolio by purchasing a pair of homes side-by-side. The first in 2012 for $3.3 million, and the second in 2016 for $1.6 million. Though much smaller than his Bel Air home, the former features 5,000 square feet of space and boasts 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. In addition, the home features a number of luxe amenities including an elevator, fireplace, a pool, and 2 spas. The home, built in 2009, looks out on an open, expansive, secluded gulf beachfront. The home features easy indoor and outdoor flow, with 5 balconies on the front, with 2 adjacent spiraling staircases perfectly centered. In the back, there's a pool, spa, outdoor barbecue area, outdoor entertainment system, and a web bar. In addition, there are glass sliding doors on the first floor that provide access to the terrace and deck. The second home Hulk acquired in 2016 for $1.6 million, and it features a 2,000 square foot home with a beachfront deck among the sand dunes and panoramic views. The exterior boasts rolling lawns, manicured grounds, and ample amounts of space with yet another sick backyard setup. The backyard features an additional spa, outdoor entertainment area, kitchenette and fire pit, comfortable porch furniture, and easy access to the ocean. It looks to me that Hulk Hogan could easily connect the two and throw a giant party. It seems that these days, this clear water property is where Hulk calls home. Alright, so I think I'm gonna bring our Hulk Hogan house tour to an end right here. We got to take a quick look at the former wrestler's homes including the huge custom mansion he used to live in, and his current side-by-side homes in Clearwater, Florida, which are also impressive. While his old mansion was a spectacle to say the least, his two side-by-side beach homes aren't too shabby either. That's a downsides I wouldn't complain too much about. He's still right on the sand. Personally, I don't know which I would choose. After checking out Hulk's homes, which was your fave? Be sure to let me know down in the comments, or go ahead and rate your favorite features.
