Super Bowl XLV Rentals: 20,000 Square Feet, Ferrari and a Private Jet

Think of all the blow-outs it must have taken to get this palace. From my blogging co-hort John Burgdoff, I have unearthed the ultimate place to stay for Super Bowl in Dallas: 5540 North 40 Place in North Dallas. As if this 20,000 square foot, nine bedroom home crammed full of everything wonderful¬†— media room, exercise room, spa, sauna, game room, pool, outside kitchen with pizza oven, formals, all on four fab acres, is not wonderful on its own. No, the owner has thrown in some teasers, all¬†for your Super Bowl viewing pleasure: private chef, Ferrari 360 Modelo, limousine service to the stadium, fetch and drop-off in a private Lear jet, oh and18 Super Bowl tickets.

This is the North Dallas palace of the late Guy Mascolo, one-half founder of the Tony & Guy hair salon chain. Guy died in 2009, but his wife, Flora, lives in the palace it took her six years to build. (We can see why!)

Staying in this place five nights would cost you a tab of $280,000 for five days. That’s kind of pricey, even if 18 people share the joint at $15,000 a pop, but if you can talk them into taking that Lear for a joy ride¬†anywhere your heart desires, what a bargain!
