Astronomer CEO Andy Byron Net Worth Turns Heads

Andy Byron went viral for all the wrong reasons this week as the tech CEO appeared to be caught on video in an intimate moment with a woman who was not his wife at a recent Coldplay concert. Naturally, led to a lot of intrigue from social media users, and it seems that Byron is quite a wealthy man.

During the concert, cameras caught a man and a woman dancing intimately as the man held the woman in his arms. When the couple realized they were on the big screen for everyone to see, they quickly ducked out of view of the camera, leading Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to suggest that they had been caught in an affair.

“Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy," Martin can be heard saying on the video as the two ducked out of view.

As the video quickly spread on social media, unverified reports identified Byron, the CEO of New York-based tech company Astronomer, as the man in the video. Meanwhile, the woman was identified as Astronomer's Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot.

Men's Journal has reached out to Astronomer for comment on the accusations surrounding Byron and Cabot, including whether they have been falsely identified, but Astronomer has neither confirmed nor denied the reports.

Though there has been no official confirmation, the parties apparently involved have made some telling movies. Byron appears to have deleted his LinkedIn account, or at least made it private, while his wife appears to have removed "Byron" as her last name on Facebook. Additionally, Astronomer has limited replies to its posts on social media.

Given the intrigue surrounding the story, social media users instantly became curious about the details of Byron's life, including his net worth.

While Byron's financial information is not exactly public, the Economic Times was able to come up with an estimate of Byron's net worth as the outlet concluded that he is likely worth between $20 million and $70 million.

"Astronomer was last valued between $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion after its Series D funding round in May 2025. As CEO, Byron likely holds an equity share in the company. Based on standard CEO ownership ranges for private startups, he could own between 1% and 5% of the company," the Economic Times wrote on Thursday.

"This would place Byron’s estimated equity between $12 million and $65 million. When adding possible salary, bonuses, and stock options from his past executive roles, his overall net worth may range from $20 million."

While that's undoubtedly a wide range, and it is just an estimate, it's still clear that Byron is quite wealthy. And that net worth certainly turned heads on social media, especially with a potential divorce looming.

"A nine‑figure apology sounds about right," one fan wrote in a post on X.

"Divorce lawyers everywhere are celebrating and the wife going to be laughing all the way to the bank," someone else added.

"I hope his wife takes him for every penny," another person added.

"I pray there’s no prenup," someone else wrote.

"Hope that prenup is non existent or has an infidelity clause," another person added.

Astronomer has not yet made a statement offering any substantial information on the incident.
