NBC set a new record for Superbowl ad revenue for a total of 206 million dollars. They sold 67 advertising slots and each ad cost between 2.4 million to 3 million for a 30 second slot. So if this was a Superbowl commercial, I would have had to pay about 3 million dollars…right about …now. If we put this into perspective, 3 million dollars at the current exchange rate is about 4,176,868,069 KRW (4 billion 176 million 868 thousand 69 won.) 286,155,935,759 won. (286 billion, 155 million 935 thousand 759 won).
