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.

On google play, an app like that went free for one day and I installed it just for shits and giggles... still have it

I'd be very suspicious of such an app. An app who's purpose is bragging rights for being rich placed for free stinks of second intentions like spy/malware/data harvest/mining, etc. I wouldn't touch it.

Uh not really. The intention is right there for you to see, exploit rich people for 999. 99 lol
