Documents seen by The Sun show the former model – who once earned £16,000 a day working for Estée Lauder – had an estate worth £769,000.
After deducting expenses, the total amount she passed on was £430,320.
Giles, who was born in Wales, did not write a will or declare to whom the money should go, but the High Court awarded the estate to her two children on Monday.
The star, who was kicked out of school for sneaking into concerts and smoking on the street, began her showbiz career working as a receptionist for five years.
But after her talent was noticed by an advertising executive, Giles rose to fame as the face of fashion brands around the world.
The model used her success to launch a TV career, landing roles in ITV hit Razzmatazz and BBC children’s show Going Live!
She was best known for starring in the 13th series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here in 2013, entering the jungle as a late contender on day five.
But Annabel was kicked out in 12th place after failing to impress viewers at home.
In 2018, she returned to TV in the ITV reality show Our Shirley Valentine Summer.
And Giles, who also co-hosted Posh Frocks and New Trousers, made cameos in Have I Got News For You, Through the Keyhole and Noel’s House Party.
Away from TV, she married Ultravox singer Midge Ure, who co-founded LiveAid with Bob Geldof, after meeting him while acting as an extra in the band’s music videos.
Giles, who was already engaged when they met, dumped graphic designer Brian Rutherford a day before their planned wedding.
Despite efforts to reconcile, she later secretly married Midge while on vacation in the Caribbean.
BRAIN TUMOR
They divorced just four years later, after the birth of their daughter Molly in 1987.
She later gave birth to Ted in 1998, although she never revealed the identity of his father.
Annabel spent the last years of her life working as a counselor and psychotherapist after training in mental health.
The mother was diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor, last July.
She underwent life-prolonging radiotherapy and died peacefully in November at a hospice in Brighton.
Her children paid tribute after her death, calling her “truly unique” and “an enigma to those privileged to share her life”.
