Thierry Henry’s remarkable weekly earnings revealed in company accounts 12 years after retirement

Public financial filings indicate that former Arsenal and France forward Thierry Henry continues to generate income at a level comparable to many current top-flight players, more than a decade after retiring from professional football.

Accounts for his company, Cluemere Ltd, show Henry received a dividend of £2.77 million in the latest financial year, along with an advance of £2.16 million. Based on those figures, his annual income equates to roughly £95,000 per week.

The numbers underline how leading former players can sustain high earnings after retirement, often through a combination of broadcasting work, commercial partnerships and carefully managed business interests.

Henry, 47, ended his playing career in 2014 following a spell with Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls. Since then, he has built a steady presence in football media, working as a pundit for broadcasters in Britain and abroad, including coverage of major European competitions.

The Cluemere Ltd filings also show the company holds assets totaling £931,781, including more than £833,000 in cash, reflecting continued financial stability beyond his regular media work.

In addition to his business income, Henry has invested in property. The Sun reported that he owns a home in Hampstead, north London, valued at around £10 million, as well as a penthouse in New York estimated to be worth £12 million.

His interests extend into club ownership as well. Henry is listed as a co-owner of Italian side Como, who have been competing near the top of Serie A under head coach Cesc Fabregas, his former Arsenal teammate.

Despite his success off the pitch, Henry has maintained links to coaching. He has previously managed Monaco in Ligue 1 and MLS side Montreal Impact, and has also worked within Arsenal’s youth setup.

At international level, he served as an assistant coach with Belgium during a period in which the team reached the latter stages of major tournaments. More recently, he led France’s under-21 and Olympic sides, guiding the latter to a silver medal at the Paris 2024 Games.

For now, Henry appears focused on his media and business commitments. Even so, his coaching background and profile within the game mean a return to management either at club level or with a national team remains a realistic possibility.
