Mercedes Benz rolled out a star-studded ad for its new CLA-Class line for the Super Bowl. Usher and Kate Upton make cameos. Willem Defoe plays the devil. And the Rolling Stones provide the soundtrack with their classic “Sympathy for the Devil.”

Question on many viewers’ minds: How much did Mercedes shell out?

How much did Mercedes pay for the rights to Sympathy For The Devil?

Wow:

Mercedes reportedly paid $1.5M to license “Sympathy for the Devil.” We had to pay $200K just to tweet “woo-WOO!” #adweekbowl #superbowlads
