The House of Hogan is for sale.
Pro wrestling legend/actor Terry Bollea, known to most of the world as Hulk Hogan, and his wife, Linda, put their country French style Belleair mansion up for sale last month.
The asking price: $25-million.
This isn't just any run-of-the-mill mansion. It is believed to be the most expensive home on the market on the west coast of Florida, and according to Forbes magazine, it is the eighth most expensive home for sale in the South.

The roof tiles are imported from France. The floors are center-cut oak that's hand-carved in a basketweave pattern. The windows are handmade leaded glass. The kitchen has custom copper sinks, hand-carved limestone and steel countertops, and a fireplace, one of seven in the 17,000-square-foot house.
Outside, across the 2.3-acre grounds overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico, is the guest house, the boat house, the pool and waterfall, the maid's quarters and the four-car garage.
