This is marketing genius, I wish I'd thought to create something this utterly frivolous, futile and indulgent. I take my monocle off to the developers of this swankware.
I Am Rich Returns to Prove You're Rich

Genius.
What a brilliant app.
If only I'd thought of it first, it costs you nothing, and raked in $7000, not including the new version.
That's clever.

On topic: I'm not sure if the developers were even serious when releasing this useless badge of decadence. I laugh at the people who bought it and though it meant something (and at the people who will inevitably find a way to pirate it for shits and giggles).
As the old adage goes, "a fool and his money are soon parted." If you've got money, you're probably not looking to flaunt it, as that tends to be an effective way to no longer have money.
As with the original, the majority of the purchases are likely to come from those who did so by accident. The market approach is that if you dig a hole where an unusually high amount of sheep are known to wander, a few are likely to fall in eventually, you don't even need to throw a tarp over it.

I've actually got a trenchcoat made out of Windows 7 phones displaying the I Am Rich app. Why? Because my self-esteem is so low that I choose to define myself by my financial standing, as opposed to my individual value as a human being.
The odds are the people who buy this are mostly deadbeat teenagers.
Owning an app will only prove anything to other dumb kids.
Rich people tend to be tight with money so they stay rich and will only spend big amounts on great quality. This kind of electronic shit is also off their radar.

My friend actually got the original one on his pirated iPhone, I saw it and it was the most ridiculous waste of money, ever.
I... I can't tell what's worse. That people would blow a thousand dollars on this extraordinary waste of money accidentally... or that people would blow a thousand dollars on this extraordinary waste of money on purpose.
Honestly? I would not at all be surprised.Jonluw said:
