Thierry Henry, widely regarded as the greatest player in Premier League history, is still raking in a huge amount of money each week. Despite hanging up his boots 12 years ago, the Frenchman's current weekly wage rivals his final Arsenal contract.
The highest-paid footballer in the English top-flight currently is Manchester City talisman Erling Haaland, who takes home an eye-watering £525,000 each week. While the Norwegian is an incredible finisher and goal-getter, it's hard to argue that Henry wouldn't at least match his staggering salary.
His playing days may have come just a bit too early to earn the same mammoth sums as the world's best players today, but the two-time Premier League winner was still well compensated for his endeavours in the sport. That said, his wealth has only gone from strength to strength since hanging up his boots in 2014.
Thierry Henry's Enormous Weekly Wages Revealed

Shortly after announcing his retirement, Henry became a regular on Sky Sports' Super Sunday as he began his rise towards becoming one of the most popular pundits in the football world. He can now be seen sporadically on the same channel while being a huge part of CBS Sports' Champions League coverage.
As well as his popular football analysis, the 48-year-old still brings in cash from sponsorship, investments, book deals, personal appearances and property. According to The Sun, Henry paid himself a dividend of £2,774,312 and topped up his income with an advance of £2,160,386.
It means Henry pockets around £100,000-per-week, which means he's still higher-paid than a lot of Premier League footballers. The co-owner of Italian side Como also boasts a £10m mansion in Hampstead and a £12m New York penthouse as part of his property portfolio.
After having stints in the coaching and management world with Belgium and France Under 21s, Henry seems to have settled into punditry for the time being. He'll be on screens for the 2026 World Cup after signing a deal with Fox Sports.

Signing for Arsenal in 1999, the French forward went on to have a dazzling impact during his eight years in north London. Henry won two Premier League titles with the Gunners, including an unbeaten season in 2003-04.
The four-time Golden Boot winner was among the best players on the planet and was deemed extremely unlucky to have missed out on the 2003 Ballon d'Or. While the money in football wasn't the same 20 years ago, the forward-turned-pundit was still among the best-paid in England.

Thierry Henry's Brilliant Answer When Asked About Missing Out on 2003 Ballon d'Or
The Frenchman missed out on the award to Pavel Nedved and had an interesting response when asked about it.
The Independent reported in 2006 that Henry had put pen to paper on a new four-year deal at the Emirates Stadium. It was reported that the player would take home over £110,000-per-week with his new contract. He wouldn't see out the entirety of that deal as Henry left the English club for Barcelona the following summer.
