NewsTo Buy 1K iPhone App, You Don't Have to Be Rich. Just Stupid.

Just how rich are you? The answer is; pretty darn rich if you can drop nearly $1000 on a useless application.

The application called ‘I Am Rich’ was available for purchase from the iPhone's App Store for the highest amount a developer can charge through the digital retailer, $999.99. The program’s developer, Armin Heinrich, said that once downloaded, it does not do much; a red icon sits on the iPhone home screen like any other application, with the subtext "I Am Rich." Once activated, it treats the user to a large, glowing gem. (which, for the money, must be way better than the screen shot below)

 Make the jump to see how many people bought 'I Am Rich'.
