The answer

$8,000,000

Roughly $8M.

A 30-second spot in the Super Bowl broadcast runs around $8 million, up from roughly $4.5 million a decade ago. That buys airtime only — production budgets for a marquee spot routinely add another seven figures. With over 120 million viewers it still works out at under 7 cents per pair of eyeballs.
