WHAM! star George Michael has raked in almost £75million from beyond the grave — and is set to bank even more, accounts show.
The singer’s firm, Nobby’s Hobbies Holding Limited, has turned over £74.7million since he died aged 53 on Christmas Day 2016.
Royalties poured in after the band’s 1984 classic hit Last Christmas, which he wrote, was the festive No1 in both 2023 and 2024.
George’s estate earned £6.6million from the 2023 chart success alone.
Cash also came from the 2023 Netflix documentary Wham!.
The company’s latest accounts end in March 2024, meaning earnings from Christmas 2024 are yet to be included.

George left a £98million fortune when he died, mostly to his sisters.
We revealed earlier in the year how George Michael’s dilapidated £10m London mansion is showing signs of improvement after major renovation work.
A bitter row with neighbours over the chopping down of a number of historic trees hasn’t deterred the late star’s sister from updating the property.
George’s only living sibling, Yioda Panayiotou, was handed ownership of the property following the singer’s tragic death on Christmas Day 2016 at the age of 53.
There was outrage when Yioda’s design team asked the local council to remove a number of trees and prune others at the front and rear of the property, which is in a conservation area.
One residents association was furious that the works were also going to occur during the peak nesting season, which runs from March to July.
