Immediately, information about the couple, especially about technology tycoon Andy Byron and this businessman’s assets.

According to The Economic Times, Andy Byron became CEO of Astronomer in July 2023. This is a technology company based in New York (USA), specializing in providing Astro – a DataOps platform that helps businesses manage Apache Airflow workflows. This company helps customers maintain system uptime and accelerate development processes.

Byron has held leadership positions at software companies including Lacework, Cybereason, and Fuze. He regularly shares company and product updates on his personal LinkedIn page.

Astronomer was last valued at $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion after its Series D round in May 2025, according to The Economic Times. As CEO, Byron could hold a stake in the company. Based on the standard CEO ownership range for private startups, he could own between 1% and 5% of the company.

This would put Byron’s estimated net worth at between $12 million and $65 million, and with salary, bonuses, and stock options from previous executive roles added in, his total net worth could range from $20 million to $70 million.

With such a net worth of tens of millions of dollars, many people also predict the issue of dividing assets if Byron and his wife go their separate ways. Because after the incident, it is not impossible to rule out the possibility of another noisy asset division scandal in the technology industry.

The reason for this prediction is from the divorce scandals of other famous technology billionaires such as Jeff Bezos – founder of Amazon, Bill Gates,…

In Jeff Bezos’ case, his ex-wife, MacKenzie Bezos, controls 4% of Amazon’s outstanding common stock, worth about $35.6 billion (as of 2019). After the divorce, MacKenzie became the third richest woman in the world.

As for Bill Gates, his ex-wife, Melinda Gates, left with a settlement of an estimated $25 billion. According to Forbes, as of April 2025, Melinda has an estimated net worth of $30.2 billion.

Currently, Andy Byron’s net worth is much less than Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates, but the figure of tens of millions of dollars is still enough to startle people. In addition, these are still just predictions and discussions from netizens, the characters involved in the shocking affair have not had any official response on this issue.
