Are You Rich? Buy this $999.99 iPhone App [Updated]


Armin Heinrich has released an app on the iTunes App Store called I Am Rich [App Store]. The $999.99 application displays a red icon on your iPhone and iPod touch to remind others that you were able to afford it. As the developer notes, "it's a work of art with no hidden function at all."

Update: I Am Rich has been removed from the App Store.

I guess you have to buy this App to prove you're rich. It doesn't do anything else.

If anyone's wondering: The App is just a picture of a diamond and it costs $999.99 on the AppStore. Do you think they'll take it down?

Crazily enough, I can see the market for this.

If you've got it on your iPhone, your either insanely idiotic to spend so much on a picture and abit of 'advisable' information, or, as you say, your insanely rich.

It will become a status symbol. "Hey look, I can afford the Diamond Application!"

Very (I was going to say 'clever' but I'll stick with 'unique' ..) concept, but it's not for everyone :rolleyes: as it states.

I wonder if that's now the most expensive item available in all of iTunes.

How the hell does something like this get into the app store?!? :eek:

I thought some of the junk in the app store already was a bit much, but this takes the pee. How can Apple pull something like Netshare without any explanation and allow this?

It really does make a mockery of the length of time some developers have had to wait for their apps to go through Apple's QA process. If Apple's QA process was worth anything they would be weeding out the junk like this, otherwise what's the point in QA at all?

Someone should release a free version of this that looks the exact same, or at least very similar, but uses cubic zirconia.

honestly, i think its a GREAT app to have in the store, and the developers are GENIOUS! if they sell it ONCE to someone who JUST wants it for a status thing, then THEY WIN!!

they are smart.. dont be jealous because you didnt think of it.

Seriously, i would be interested to see if that app does start popping up more places. I would think it might because now that the newer iphones are cheaper, more people have them and the actual IPHONE is not a status symbol anymore. there are ALWAYS guys out tehre that HAVE to show their status, so that would now be the ONLY way to do it through your phone.. So why not? I mean, i can give a HUGE list why not, like starving people in the city 2 towns over.. but why not in the sense of WHY is a diamond app any more ridiculous that a $17,000 purse?? or a $120,000 pair of cufflinks?
