I Am Rich
App Maker: Armin Heinrich
Reason: None given
This app did only one thing: Broadcast to others that you had money to burn.
I Am Rich hoped to bring conspicuous consumption to iPhone users by
charging $999 for a screen that showed a glowing gem. "The red icon on your
iPhone or iPod Touch always reminds you (and others when you show it to them
) that you were able to afford this," read the app description on the iTunes
. Eight users purchased the virtual gem before Apple yanked it in August
2008.
