Best Super Bowl Party at $12.5M Estate

Super Bowl XLV in Dallas -- OK, Arlington -- gave North Texas home sellers a unique chance to strut their real estate inventory to a vast new audience of potential home buyers: Pittsburgh and Green Bay fans, topped with movie stars. The biggest and best party was thrown at Phil Romano's gigantic home, which is on the market for $12,500,00, making it one of the priciest in North Texas.

Award-winning actress Hilary Swank hosted the best ticket in town at the 4.697-acre estate of restaurant and heart-stent magnate Romano. (She wore a "Don't Mess With Texas" tee shirt after her luggage was lost.) Tickets to the formal event were $1,000. The event, and let me tell you it was 700 people strong, benefited The Giving Back Fund.
