Oh isn’t this great? A german guy called Armin Heinrich (at least I suspect he’s german from the sound of his name) has an app on the iPhone App Store called “I Am Rich.” All the app does is … um … display a red gem. No hidden features or hacks whatsoever. But heres the thing: the app costs 1000$. :-D So if you’re rich enough, you can get it and show everyone how rich you are. Here is the description from the AppStore:
The red icon on your iPhone or iPod touch always reminds you (and others when you show it to them) that you were rich enough to afford this.
It’s a work of art with no hidden function at all
Though this isn’t the best of it yet, check out this screenshot of a comment in the App Store. Someone actually bought it!
Now, there are only two piece of advice I can give to the poor guy who bought it:
- Don’t buy the Platinum or Gold Upgrade … ROFL
- Show the world that you are the only man in the world who can afford (or be cool enough) to buy this app. Show them!
I am actually a bit disappointed that Apple removed the App from the Store. The app doesn’t violate anything so it should be kept there … if the author insists that it stays. And I think the author should insist, cause there are a lot of rich people around here in the world who will buy it! :-D
Got Thoughts?
By all means share them, and start the conversation.
