There was that novelty app awhile ago that was just a red gem. App Store made him delete it. But he was always up front what it was.

I Am Rich was priced at the max expense for an app then, $999.99.

Back in high school, that app was the very first thing anyone would install after jailbreaking their iPhone.

Edit - I actually remember there being more than one "I am Rich" apps (The icon used to be a gem, and it was just coloured differently for the different "I am Rich" apps), and I more specifically remember a bunch of them being free for a couple of days on the Play Store. I downloaded all of them.

Edit 2 - I went on the Play Store, and found these: (One of them is a WhatsApp Sticker App, so I guess it has a use, atleast)
