Salt, meet wound.

Gawker founder Nick Denton and former editor A.J. Daulerio may have to pay Hulk Hogan directly from their own pockets after a*Florida jury on Monday*awarded more than $25 million*in punitive damages to the wrestler.

The jury ordered Gawker to pay $15 million, Denton to pay $10 million and Daulerio to pay $100,000.

The damages come as an additional penalty on top of the $115 million that Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, won last week against Gawker for the publication of a *** tape that captured and intimate moment with a friend's then-wife.

That brings the total to a whopping $140.1 million.* Read more...
