This year, NBC is charging advertisers $4.5m (£3m) for a 30-second spot. But with an expected US audience of 110 million, and more streaming the most popular ads online, it's a price companies are willing to pay.
The BBC's Franz Strasser takes a look at the price of the products advertised and asks how many items you could buy for the cost of a commercial.
...
Advertisers will pay close to $41 per one thousand viewers, if 100 million Americans tune in. A rate slightly above the industry average of $37.

For 9 mil you could buy a pretty comfortable life for the rest of your days and render a fair bit of charity.
Or you could blow it on your very own 1 minute commercial that nobody is going to pay any attention to.

with yo being given 9 million bucks, you’d lose 60-65% of it in fed, state and local taxes first.
the real world question should be what could you buy with the remaining 2.5-3 million dollars.

The REAL question is, how many cans of bud can you SELL with a $9 million dollar SB ad?
