Abstract: Using the brick wall regularization of 't Hooft, the entropy of non-extreme and extreme black holes is investigated in a general static, spherically symmetric spacetime. We classify the singularity in the entropy by introducing a {it new} index delta with respect to the brick wall cut-off epsilon. The leading contribution to entropy for non-extreme case (deltaeq0) is shown to satisfy the area law with quadratic divergence with respect to the invariant cut-off epsilonminv while the extreme case (delta=0) exhibits logarithmic divergence or constant value with respect to epsilon. The general formula is applied to Reissner-Nordstr"{o}m, dilaton and brane-world black holes and we obtain consistent results.
