Bizarro ($100) iPhone Apps: You Are Rich

Posted on 17 Oct 2009 by PatrickJ

You Are Rich iPhone app

If you were fresh out of ideas on how to part with $100 this weekend and get nothing in return, here ‘s an app that can help you out with that.  It ‘s called You Are Rich, it ‘s in the ‘Lifestyle ‘ category in the App Store, and somehow the words ‘and stupid ‘ got misplaced at the end of its title.

The app was apparently created by a 15 year old, whose other apps are all in a slightly different App Store neighborhood “ the $0.99 annoying soundboard apps section.  In fact, the end of the description page for You Are Rich even lets you know that if it is ‘to pricey for you my other apps are much cheaper ‘.

Maybe that ‘s the marketing master-plan at work here “ lure ‘em in with a $100 app that does nothing at all “ so they ‘ll be floored by the sheer value of $0.99 annoying sounds apps. 

Spotted this via KRAPPS, who highlighted some ‘history ‘ behind this app, and pointed out what a truly solid App Store approval this one is.
