What is the Most Expensive TV Ad in the World?

Answer:

THE BIG APPLE is the most expensive TV ad in the world. This pricey commercial was created by Ridley Scott - the director of Gladiator, Alien, Blade Runner,and Hannibal. "It was a kind of brave commercial because there was no talk about a computer and no showing of a computer," says Scott.

It cost $1,000,000 to place the ad in that slot.
