Thierry Henry LIFESTYLE Is NOT What You..

You may know him as Arsenal’s greatest player of  all time but Thierry Henry’s ELEGANT lifestyle is  

off the charts. Let’s uncover the most remarkable  things about the Arsenal legend’s lifestyle,  

relationship SCANDALS, luxurious properties, and  net worth. This is Thierry Henry’s lifestyle.  

Thierry Daniel Henry was born on the 7th of  August 1977, in Les Ulis, a small suburban town  

in Paris. His parents, Antoine and Maryse  Henry are from Guadeloupe and Martinique,  

which means that Henry is of Antillean  heritage: Growing up in a small apartment in  

a rather tough neighborhood, Henry ventured into  football after being encouraged by his father.  

Antoine often took his son to local football  matches. When Henry was 7, he already showed  

undeniable footballing talent. As a result, he  was drafted into the local club in his hometown.  

After about 5 years, he switched clubs and  moved to US Palaiseau in 1989. A year later,  

13-year-old Henry had already joined the  Under-15 team of Viry-Châtillon but just when  

he needed his parents most, they separated.  After much back and forth on child custody,  

Henry’s mother prevailed and took him to Orsay  to join the Alexander Fleming School but Henry  

bolted out. At 14, the youngster was chosen into  the French Football Federation's Clairefontaine  

Academy and his career was ready to kick off. During his time at the Academy, Henry signed an  

apprentice contract with Arsene Wenger who was  the then manager of Monaco. The Frenchman made  

his first professional appearance in 1994.  Henry’s performances earned him the French  

Young Footballer of the Year award in 1996.  The following year, he won the league with  

Monaco and after impressing at the Under-18  European championships, Henry was called up  

to the 1998 French World Cup squad. In January  1999, the 21-year-old forward left Monaco for  

Juventus but left barely 7 months after failing  to settle at the club. He reunited with Arsène  

Wenger at Arsenal and that was where he became  one of the best strikers ever seen in the English  

Premier League - 226 goals for the club in 370  appearances across 8 seasons, 2 League titles,  

2 FA Cups and a Champions League finalist. Henry’s time at Arsenal was truly special not just  

for the goals but for the scores of achievements  that came along with it like their 2004 Invincible  

season. He finished as the Ballon d'Or runner-up  in 2003, won dozens of individual awards,  

and became a club legend. For France, he would  score 51 goals in 123 appearances to become the  

nation’s highest goalscorer; a record which stood  for years before being broken by Olivier Giroud.  

Henry left Arsenal for Barcelona in June  2007 after an unexpected run of events and  

although he won a historic treble with Barca, he  wasn’t the same prolific striker who could beat  

defenders with pace and skill before producing  a sublime finish. Henry joined the MLS side,  

New York Red Bulls in 2010 and retired in  2014 after four-and-a-half years at the club.  

After his retirement, the Frenchman worked as  a Pundit for Sky Sports for over three years  

before quitting to focus on a career as a coach.  In August 2016, he became second assistant coach  

of the Belgium national team and was the main  assistant 2 years after. However, his time as  

an assistant coach came to an abrupt end after  he became Monaco’s coach in October 2018. Again,  

his time at Monaco was short-lived. Due to his  relative inexperience and Monaco’s dire situation,  

Henry left the club 3 months later with  a dismal record of 4 wins and 11 defeats,  

from 20 games in charge. Later that year, he  signed for Montreal Impact and was able to  

revive his managerial career with impressive  results in his 2 years with the club.  

The former striker who was inducted into the  Premier League Hall of Fame in 2021, returned  

as Belgium’s assistant coach before stepping down  again in February this year. He continues to work  

as a studio analyst having joined CBS Sports in  their Champions League coverage. The Frenchman  

also works as a consultant for Amazon Prime  Video league programs. If you think that’s a  

lot of stuff going on in his career, wait until  you see what his personal life looks like.  

Henry is currently dating Andrea Rajacic, a  36-year-old Bosnian model. The couple met each  

other in 2008 and have remained together since  then. They gave birth to a son, Tristan Henry  

in 2012. However, they are yet to tie the knot.  Some people ask, “Why ruin a great relationship  

with a wedding?” but what do you reckon? But before he met his current partner,  

Henry had been married to English model Claire  Merry, whom he met while filming the Renault  

Clio adverts in 2001. It was love at first sight  and 2 years later, they were married at Highclere  

Castle. Henry and Merry had their first child,  Tea in 2005 but the next few years brought a  

lot of scandals. Henry and make-up artist Sadie  Hewlett were said to have had an affair after a  

photoshoot session. Apparently, she wasn’t  the only one as Henry also allegedly had an  

encounter with Chloe Walton in 2006. His ex-wife  found out and filed for a £10 million divorce  

settlement that went her way. Henry is rumored  to have two other children; Tatiana and Gabriel  

but details about them are largely unknown. The 45-year-old has a lifestyle that is similar  

to the average person. Music and dancing are  perhaps two of his biggest hobbies. Despite his  

strict fitness programs, he would not trade his  native Caribbean foods for anything else. Henry  

is an avid fan of the NBA and you would often  find him with his friend, Tony Parker at games.  

The San Antonio Spurs are his favorite team. As for tattoos, Henry’s got them in plenty. He  

once unveiled a full sleeve tattoo on his right  arm with a New York themed body art on the left  

arm. You will find features of the Statue of  Liberty and what looks to be the Brooklyn Bridge.  

Having experienced a messy divorce, racist  comments, and some forms of social media  

bullying, Henry decided to step away from  social media in 2021, so you won’t even  

find his official Instagram or Twitter handles. While Henry was still at Arsenal, he purchased a  

home in Hampstead, North London that was reported  to be worth $10 million and also a $15 million  

penthouse in New York. While playing for the New  York Red Bulls in the MLS, the former Arsenal man  

purchased the top two floors of his Soho apartment  building and rumors have it that he expanded  

to the floor below. According to reports, his  5600 square feet apartment has floor-to-ceiling  

windows, an open-plan kitchen, a media room with  wet bar, and a bamboo garden. The Frenchman showed  

just how crazy his taste for luxury could be when  he attempted to build a four-storey fish tank in  

his Hampstead home in 2012. However, the plan did  not suit his family needs, so it fell through.  

As for cars, he owns a $350,000 Aston  Martin Vanquish, a Rolls Royce Phantom,  

a Bentley Continental, a Ferrari Enzo, and Dodge  Charger SRT8. Back in the day, he also had an  

Audi Q7 in his garage. With all these assets and  luxuries, what do you reckon his net worth to be?  

Henry played for Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal,  Barcelona, and New York Red Bulls during his  

career. At Barca, he earned €6.8 million per  year and at the MLS, he had a base salary of  

$5.6 million guaranteed annually and during  the height of his career with the Gunners,  

he was reeling in up to £6 million annually.  Henry also earned over $50 million from brand  

endorsement deals during his career with  partnerships with Nike, Reebok, Pepsi, Puma,  

Gatorade, and many more. At his peak, he was one  of the most marketable athletes in the world.  

As a pundit for Sky, Henry reportedly earned £4  million annually. Last year, he became an investor  

and minority stakeholder at Serie B club Como.  Putting it all together, it is safe to say that  

Thierry Henry’s net worth is over $100 million.  But he gives some of that money back to charity.  

When Henry served as Roberto Martinez's assistant  at Belgium, he did not take home a salary, rather,  

he donated his entire salary from the national  team to charity. He has also spoken up against  

racism and social media bullying. The Frenchman  supports several health foundations and has  

participated in charity football games for various  causes. The 45-year-old is also a supporter of  

the Special Olympics, providing funds for  projects through the One4All Foundation.  

Apart from his messy divorce, perhaps one  of his biggest controversies happened back  

in 2009 during the World Cup playoff tie between  France and Ireland. The striker appeared to use  

his hand to score the winning goal that saw  France progress at the expense of Ireland.  

From being one of the greatest strikers ever to  building a solid post-playing career, Thierry  

Henry’s legacy is set in stone and his luxurious,  yet charitable lifestyle reaffirms his greatness.
