Entangled in an affair scandal with her boss at the Coldplay concert, the female HR director revealed her identity as “not medium”
Kristin Cabot – the female HR director involved in a shocking love scandal at the Coldplay concert – was suddenly revealed to be the daughter-in-law of the most powerful Cabot family in the United States.
Kristin Cabot, the chief human resources officer at technology company Astronomer with an intimate moment with her boss who is causing a “cyberstorm”, is said to be married to Andrew Cabot, the owner of the Privateer Rum brand and the sixth-generation descendant of the Cabot family – one of the oldest families. the richest in America.
According to social media posts, Andrew Cabot is currently the owner of Privateer Rum – a liquor brand with a long history in New England. In an article from 1972 in the New York Times, the Cabots’ fortune at that time was estimated at about $200 million – equivalent to $15.4 billion (about 402 trillion VND) at today’s value.
It’s unclear when Kristin and Andrew got married, but it’s their second marriage. Kristin had previously completed divorce proceedings in 2022.
Kristin Cabot’s deleted LinkedIn account has listed her role as an “advisory board member” at Privateer Rum since September 2020. Real estate records also show that the couple bought a mansion worth $2.2 million in the coastal area of New Hampshire earlier this year.
It is known that the Cabot Family is one of the families of the “Boston Brahmin” class – a wealthy, powerful and long-standing elite group that has dominated the New England region for centuries. This is the Anglo-Saxon elite, wealthy for generations – so much so that the Irish-Catholic Kennedys are considered “outsiders” in the world.
The famous satirical verse about Boston once wrote: “And this is old Boston/ The home of beans and cod/ Where the Lowells only talk to the Cabots/ And the Cabots talk only to God.”
The Cabots’ wealth comes from the production of carbon black, a key ingredient in the tire industry, and maritime trade activities dating back to the 19th century, including the slave and opium trades, according to historical records.
In the family, there is Samuel Cabot, who is said to have started the family’s wealth growth momentum by marrying Eliza Perkins, the daughter of a wealthy merchant at the time. Throughout the decades, the Cabot family members continued to expand their influence into many industries, including the rum industry.
In addition, the Cabot family has a tradition of contributing to leading educational institutions such as Harvard University, MIT, Norwich University, and the Perkins School for the Blind.
Francis Cabot, a member of the New York family, once said bluntly: “My family has had two of the greatest interests throughout history: One is to marry rich women, the other is … singing in the choir.”
It can be said that the love scandal between Kristin Cabot and Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, caught on the big screen at the Coldplay concert, is shocking not only the technology world but also the curiosity aimed at one of the most prestigious families in the United States.
The fact that Kristin, a woman who is the daughter-in-law of a family associated with Harvard and “only talks to God”, became the main character in the ethics scandal at work surprised many people. While Andy Byron stepped down as CEO amid an internal investigation, Kristin Cabot’s future, both career and personal reputation, remains a big question mark.
