Astronomer CEO Andy Byron achieved overnight fame — or infamy — when he was seemingly caught in an intimate moment with a woman who was not his wife while on the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert.
As the viral video continues to make the rounds, it’s only natural for social media users to wonder how much the New York-based tech company CEO is really worth.
It turns out, he might be worth quite a lot.
Keep scrolling to find out his net worth and how much money he makes:
What Is Andy Byron’s Net Worth?
While his salary isn’t public, the Economic Times estimated Byron, who took over the company in 2023, is worth between $20 and $70 million.
Astronomer itself was estimated to be worth between $1.2 and $1.3 billion after its Series D funding round in May 2025. The outlet reasoned that CEOs typically own an equity share in their company, usually between 1 and 5 percent. That would equate to between $12 million and $65 million, but that does not account for his salary and bonuses.
Byron’s unfortunate viral moment came Wednesday, July 16, at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, when the Kiss Cam landed on him hugging Astronomer’s chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, from behind. Upon realizing he was on camera, Byron dropped to the ground while Cabot quickly hid her face.
“Whoa, look at these two,” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said to the crowd. “Alright, come on. You’re OK! Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy. I’m not quite sure what to do.”
“Holy s***. I hope we didn’t do something bad,” he added.
Us Weekly has reached out to Astronomer and to both executives for comment on the incident.
Astronomer is the company behind Astro, “the industry-leading data orchestration and observability platform powered by Apache Airflow,” according to its website.
Astronomer Launched an Investigation After Kiss Cam Drama
While neither Byron nor Cabot have spoken out about the incident yet — despite a fake statement circulating on Thursday that appeared to be from Byron — Astronomer has launched an investigation.
“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,” the company shared in a statement via LinkedIn on Friday. “Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability. The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”
Byron and Cabot, for their part, appear to have deactivated their respective LinkedIn accounts. His wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, seemingly deactivated her Facebook account as well after social media users found it and began spamming her comments.
