What company's paid to have their products showed on the movie-'Austin Powers the spy who shagged me'?
If so how much did the company's pay for this brief showing of their products on the movie?

The movie was really one giant commercial. Heinekin Beer pay around $25million to have their beer 'placed' on a movie. Austin's pad was above a Phillips electronics store. Starbucks, AOL and Virgin all got plugs as well. For even more, I suggest you try searching google using "product placement" and "Austin Powers"
