Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his net worth have become the center of a social media firestorm following a viral kiss-cam moment at a Coldplay concert.
The footage, showing Byron embracing Head of HR Kristin Cabot, has led to widespread allegations of infidelity, with many speculating about the impact on his marriage to Megan Kerrigan Byron, an educator at Bancroft School in New York.
The couple resides in Northborough, Massachusetts, with their two children and owns a home valued at over $1 million through a trust.
Social media reactions have been intense, with some users joking, “Someone’s getting rich lol,” and others noting, “His wife will be very rich if a divorce happens,” referencing the potential financial implications of a split given Astronomer’s reported $1.3 billion valuation after a $93 million Series D funding round in May 2025.
While Byron’s personal net worth is estimated at around $10 million -$60 million by some sources, these figures remain unverified and may be conflated with the company’s valuation.
As of July 17, 2025, no divorce has been announced. However, under New York’s equitable distribution laws, Megan Kerrigan Byron could potentially claim approximately 50% of marital assets in a divorce, which could amount to $10-25 million, plus alimony and child support for their two children, depending on any prenuptial agreements or fault considerations.
Megan Kerrigan Byron’s now-deactivated Facebook page was flooded with supportive messages before its removal.
