Hulk Hogan has been awarded $140m by a jury in his case against Gawker Media.

The former wrestler took the publishers to court after they shared a video of Hogan having sex with the wife of his ex-best friend. The 62-year-old claimed publishing the video was a breach of his privacy, and the jury agreed, awarding him an initial $115m before adding on a further $25m for punitive damages. In response to the announcement, Hogan shared a simple - but telling - photo with his Twitter followers on Tuesday. https://twitter.com/HulkHogan/status/712215547816058881
