The Super Bowl is regarded as one of the biggest sporting events in the United States. Aside from being a showdown between two top NFL teams for the title, it can also be viewed as a prospect to earn a lot of money through commercials.

In 2014, former California governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in a Bud Light Super Bowl commercial. Other celebrities include fellow actor Scarlett Johansson and former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick.
