Astronomer CEO Andy Byron Net Worth: Andy Byron, the CEO of data infrastructure firm Astronomer, has garnered headlines globally after a video of him with a woman has gone viral on the internet. The video was captured through a "Kiss Cam" during a Coldplay concert in Boston, where Andy Byron can be seen hugging a woman, identified as Astronomer HR Chief Kristin Cabot, from behind while enjoying the concert. The video led to rumours of Andy Byron's extramarital affair and a "cheating" scandal. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin also pointed out the couple, saying, "Either they are very shy or they are having an affair."
Andy Byron is 50 years old, married and has two children. His wife, Megan, has recently been reported to have dropped "Byron" from her Facebook profile and even deactivated it. The lady in the video, Kristin Cabot, is said to be the HR of Byron's company and is also married. The firm, Astronomer, headquartered in New York, has not yet commented on the controversy, and neither Byron nor Cabot has issued any statements.
Andy Byron's firm, Astronomer, is a tech company focused on ensuring smooth and reliable data flow for various uses, including AI, machine learning and business insights. Byron assumed the role of CEO in July 2023 and is married to Megan Kerrigan.
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's Net Worth
Andy Byron's estimated total wealth, or net worth, is between USD 20 million and 70 million. This estimation is primarily based on his ownership stake (1% to 5%) in Astronomer, which is valued between USD 1.2 billion and USD 1.3 billion as of May 2025. His equity in the company alone is valued at USD 12 million to USD 65 million. This figure does not include his income from salary, bonuses, or any earnings from his past executive roles.
While Byron's exact net worth is not known, Astronomer, in May this year, announced it had secured USD 93 million in new funding from investors, bringing the company closer to becoming a robust software entity. This funding round included Bain as one of its initial investors. Byron stated at the time that all investors were committed to Astronomer's long-term vision due to recent momentum, massive market demand and macro tailwinds supporting their vision.
