In the face of his usual racial discrimination, Henry often expressed his opinion on the topic of "racial discrimination in football". Henry has been subjected to numerous incidents of racism, most notably in 2004, when the Spanish national team was practicing, a Spanish television crew captured Spanish coach Araganis encouraging Reyes with a rhetorical tone, saying that his arsenal teammate Henry was a "stupid black man". The incident caused an uproar in the British media, demanding that Araganis step down. Henry and Nike collaborated on a "sit-and-talk" campaign aimed at eliminating any controversy arising from racial discrimination.
In 2006, Henry was estimated to be the ninth most commercially valuable player in the world and the eighth richest player in the Premier League, with a £21 million family fortune. In 2007, Time magazine included Henry in the "Heroes and Pioneers" category of "100 Celebrities of the Age".

On the afternoon of December 16, 2014, French footballer and legendary superstar Thierry Henry officially announced his retirement and joined Sky TV, one of Europe's three major satellite pay television stations, as a resident guest and ambassador. Since then, Henry has been a commentator at Sky Sports ever since. He also worked as a coach for arsenal youth, but since Wenger did not want him to coach the Arsenal youth team at the same time as a guest, hoping that he could focus on one role, Henry eventually gave up his job at Arsenal.
On 26 August 2016, Arsenal legend Henry was appointed assistant coach of the Belgian national team, where he will help Belgium prepare for the World Preliminary Tournament.
Chris van Pould, executive director of the Belgian Football Federation, announced: "The assistant coach of belgian national team coach Roberto Martinez will be Graeme Jones, and Thierry Henry will serve as the second assistant coach. Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said: "Henry will help us to unite the spirit of the team and win something.
