Sherry Rollins does not even have her own vehicle. She drives an elderly Subaru that is registered to Holly Rollins (Ted's current wife) or Bradley Arant (Ted's Birmingham-based law firm). For each of the past two years, neither Holly Rollins nor Bradley Arant has renewed the car tags in a timely fashion. Dawn Helms Sharff, who acts as Ted Rollins' primary corporate attorney, appears to be the responsible party, but she has mostly ignored repeated requests from Sherry Rollins to update the car tag.
Here is what Dawn Sharff's bio says about her duties:
Dawn serves as lead counsel on commercial real estate and commercial financing matters, often coordinating a legal team involving other Bradley Arant Boult Cummings attorneys, as well as local counsel in other states.
Sharff can handle all of that, but she can't handle a car tag on a vehicle that appears to be her responsibility? That's the kind of stuff Sherry Rollins deals with. Sounds like Linda Bollea won't be having such worries.
Some reporters have portrayed the Hogan story as one where Linda Bollea took Hulk to "the legal cleaners." But I doubt that's the case. I'm sure Hulk Hogan could afford adequate legal representation. His wife also must have had adequate counsel--and she apparently lucked into an honest Florida judge--and she got her equitable share of the marital assets.
The public record indicates that Ted Rollins, or someone working on his behalf, pulled strings to administer a monstrous cheat job on Sherry Rollins and the couple's daughters. I've written many times that it's the worst case of judicial corruption I've encountered in the civil arena.
And here is the stunning part: Hulk Hogan is a wealthy dude, but I'm betting that Ted Rollins leaves him in the financial dust. Hulk apparently made his money the old-fashioned way--he earned it by becoming a star on the burgeoning pro wrestling circuit. Ted Rollins was born with wealth and financial clout, thanks to his status as the son of the late entrepreneur John W. Rollins Sr.
Ted Rollins is CEO of a company that went public about a year ago to the tune of $380 million. His stepmother, Michele Rollins, is worth between $90 and $350 million. Perhaps more importantly, Ted Rollins has been involved in business pursuits with his cousin, R. Randall Rollins, the CEO of Rollins Inc. in Atlanta. At last check, Randall Rollins had stock worth of $763.8 million--and that was in 2005. Our guess is that his total worth easily tops $1 billion by now.
