In 2006, Henry was valued as the ninth most commercially marketable footballer in the world, as well as being the eighth richest Premiership player, with £21 million.
In terms of past endorsements, Henry featured in the Renault Clio advertisements in which he popularised the term va-va-voom, meaning “life” or “passion”.

His deal with Nike ended after the 2006 World Cup, when he signed a deal with Reebok to appear in their “I Am What I Am” campaign. In February 2007, Henry was named as one of the three ambassadors of Gillette’s “Champions program”. The program, which purported to feature three of the “best-known, most widely respected and successful athletes competing today”, also showcased Roger Federer and Tiger Woods.
As part of Reebok Entertainment’s “Framed” series, Henry was the star of a half-hour episode that detailed the making of a commercial about Henry directed by Spanish actress Paz Vega. Other past endorsements include Pepsi’s “Dare For More” campaign in 2005, alongside the likes of David Beckham and Ronaldinho.
