Royalties made up £3.5million, pouring in after Last Christmas, which he wrote, was the 2023 Christmas No 1.
Bandmate Andrew Ridgeley, 61, said George would have been “beside himself” with joy as they measured their success by chart positions.
The firm, controlled by George’s family, received £91,559 for a Netflix documentary to mark the band’s 40th anniversary.
Fans said they were left with ‘goosebumps’ after watching the ‘beautiful’ documentary which featured a wealth of unseen material.
One of its producers, Simon Halfon, says his team spent over two years digging for footage and audio.
Another £2million was publishing income.
George died aged 53 on Christmas Day in 2016 from heart and liver problems.
