Rihanna dropped a jaw-dropping $500K to rent a luxurious 6,400-square-foot mansion in Paradise Valley, Arizona, just for Super Bowl LVII. The five-bedroom property, bought by cybersecurity expert Spyro Malaspinas for $7.3M in 2022, wasn’t meant for short-term leases. When a property management firm approached Malaspinas with the offer, he had no idea the Grammy-winning superstar would be the one calling his mansion home for the week.
It turns out that that very special tenant was none other than Rihanna herself. “The last thing I am is a real estate baron,” Malaspinas told The Wall Street Journal. “My pride’s not that big. I don’t mind moving out for $500,000 a week.” Uh, yeah, who would? Rihanna’s mansion was just 30 minutes from the Super Bowl stage, where she revealed her pregnancy, making her halftime performance a historic moment.
Now, let’s talk numbers. The Super Bowl that year wasn’t just a sports spectacle—it was the third most-watched TV show in history, with a staggering 113 million viewers. Amid this, Rihanna casually secured a mansion for a week. For $500K, mind you. That’s enough to make anyone’s head spin, especially considering the income was enough to cover Malaspinas’s two-year mortgage. He was paid half a million for just seven days, and his daughter was beyond excited when she learned about the guest of honor.
