Andy Byron Astronomer CEO net worth: Fallout from Coldplay gig kisscam continues
The CEO of Astronomer has found himself in the headlights in the last 24 hours after seemingly being caught on a kisscam on a Coldplay concert.
Andy Byron has been named as the the man who dived out of the camera’s way when shown hugging a woman who turned out not to be his wife. She has been named as Astronomer’s head of people Kristin Cabot.
While no public statements have been made by anyone involved - despite some spoof statements pinging around the web - reports suggest that Byron’s wife has dropped his surname.
Were the couple to divorce on the grounds of his transgression, he would have to pay out several million dollars, as his successful career has seen him well remunerated.
How much is Astronomer worth?
Astronomer took part in a funding round in May and raised $93m - and at the time was valued at about $1.3bn. The firm streamlines workflows for data engineering.
It is also behind Astro, a platform that uses the work management software Apache Airflow. Astro builds “reliable data products that unlock insights, unleash AI value, and power data-driven applications”.
Andy Byron's Net Worth
It’s difficult to be precise about Andy Byron’s net worth, but most estimates have put it between $20m and $70m. He owns equity in the company, and the logic is that most CEOs of start-up companies of the type and size of Astronomer own between one per cent and five per cent of the firm. Byron has worked in executive roles in previous companies, and is likely to be paid well, so his wealth is not likely solely from the stock he holds.
