The man who owned the house, Spyro Malaspinas, worked in cybersecurity and had a large home measuring 6,400 square feet in Paradise Valley.

He bought it for an astonishing $7.3 million in 2022.

The house was conveniently situated between Phoenix and Scottsdale, allowing for a quick 30-minute drive to the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, where the Super Bowl was held.

In the lead-up to the Super Bowl, a property management firm approached Malaspinas, offering an astonishing $500,000 to rent out his home for the week.

Initially, he had hesitated, but the attraction of such a substantial sum captivated him. 

Who could decline the opportunity to receive an amount equivalent to the cost of a house for merely a week away from home?

Malaspinas revealed he had no idea about the real tenant until the agreement was settled.

Malaspinas openly expressed his thoughts and mentioned that he wasn't a wealthy real estate mogul. So, he had no issues with temporarily moving out of his house in exchange for the substantial sum of $500,000.
