The Oprah Winfrey Show is charging a whopping $1 million for a 30-second commercial on it's big finale show on Wednesday, May 25th.

The $1 million price tag is nearly 18 times more than the show's recent asking price of $57,400, as reported by Nielsen earlier in the season.

While the Superbowl remains the most expensive TV show to advertise on (it cost $3 million for a 30-second spot on the last Superbowl), among regularly-scheduled TV shows, the 2004 series finale of Friends is STILL the most expensive -- it cost $2 million for a 30-second commercial.
