ST. PETERSBURG: Jurors on Monday awarded wrestling star Hulk Hogan a total of $140 million — $25 million more than he was granted last week over a sex tape posted by entertainment website Gawker.

The 62-year-old Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, successfully argued that the posting of the secretly recorded video featuring him and a friend’s wife — which is less than two minutes long — invaded his privacy and humiliated him.

Hogan burst into tears Friday after the six-member jury announced its decision of the mammoth award in a court in St. Petersburg, Florida, after just six hours of deliberation. It was more than the $100 million Hogan had requested.

Yet Florida laws allow up to three times the compensatory amount in a case like this — meaning another $345 million more could have been awarded as punitive damages.

Instead, jurors added $25 million in punitive damages to the $115 million original award for violating Hogan’s privacy.

Hogan’s lawyer has said the video — published in October 2012 — was viewed around seven million times.

Gawker, which could face bankruptcy, intends to appeal.
