The woman in the viral photo with kids is not Astronomer CEO Andy Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan.According to the website Know Your Meme, the image is part of a widely circulated meme series featuring influencer Elina Salyakhova and her children. Originally posted online in late 2021, the photo began inspiring meme content as early as April 2024 on social media platforms like TikTok, Reddit, and X.The memes typically use the phrasal setup “Mom, how did we get so rich?” as a humorous way to convey affluence or luxury.Although this image of Elina Salyakhova and her children is widely repurposed by netizens for comedic content, the image itself has no actual connection to Andy Byron, his wife Megan Kerrigan, or their family.What else do we know about Andy Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan?Screenshots of Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot captured during the Coldplay concert "kiss cam" (Image via X/@PopBase)Andy Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, was first reportedly identified as his spouse by Newsweek on July 17.
