The homeowner who rented his property to Rihanna during Super Bowl week reportedly received such a huge payment from the singer that the money is set to cover his mortgage for the next TWO years. As we all know, Rih-Rih headlined this year’s Super Bowl at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona in February, and ahead of her performance, she stayed at a property owned by Spyro Malaspinas, who says he had never considered renting his home out — well, that was until he saw the offer Rihanna made him.
Per the aforementioned publication, RiRi spent a whopping $500,000 to rent the place, though he wasn’t actually made aware of who the person was that was interested in his home. “The last thing I am is a real estate baron,” he said. “My pride’s not that big. I don’t mind moving out for $500,000 a week.” The 6,400-square foot property, which is an estimated 30-minute drive from the stadium, is said to be worth $7.3 million and has gotten so much attention since Rihanna stayed there that Malaspinas says he’s been receiving “crazy amounts of money” to sell it.
He added that upon finding out it was Rihanna who was looking to scoop up his home for the week, Malaspinas scored some huge points with his 13-year-old daughter who was “thrilled” to know they’d be accommodating the pop superstar’s stay as she geared up for her iconic half-time show. It was during her performance that Rihanna revealed she was expecting her second child with her boo, A$ap Rocky, just under a year after welcoming their firstborn, a baby boy, in May 2022.
When Rihanna took the stage at State Farm Stadium, she certainly did not disappoint. Her setlist was a mix of some of her biggest hits, including “Umbrella,” “We Found Love,” and “Diamonds.” Each song was performed flawlessly, and Rihanna’s energy and stage presence were captivating to say the least.
Rihanna’s pregnancy raises questions about the impact it will have on her music career. It is not uncommon for female artists to take a break from the music industry after giving birth. However, Rihanna has always been a trailblazer and has never shied away from breaking the norms.

It is uncertain whether Rihanna will take a hiatus from her music career, but it is worth noting that she has been working on her ninth studio album for quite some time now. Rihanna has been teasing fans about the album’s release, and it is possible that she will release it before the baby’s arrival.
She recently gave fans an update on which direction she plans to take her music with her ninth studio album, saying, “I’m feeling open to exploring, discovering, creating, things that are new, things that are different, things that are off, weird, might not ever make sense to my fans, you know.”
