Ahhh capitalism at its finest indeed. I think it’s incredibly inteligent. Finally someone had the brains to prey on the rich. Why is everyone so upset? Did he take your $1000? If he did, your a moron and you deserve it. Get over it people. The guy clearly stated in the app description what it was about and what it did. They all knew what they were buying and so what if he made a few hundred thousand. Props to him

The “I am Rich” app is currently £0.59, which is around $0.99. By the looks of it, its the same glowing jewel and the same guy that made it.

[...] I am Rich App – The $999.99 iPhone app entitled, “I am Rich” stirred up lots of controversy last year. The app itself flashes a computer designed ruby on the screen – and that’s it.

[...] And the outrageous price is part of that status. Remember that crazy iPhone app called "I Am Rich that did nothing but display a red jewel on the screen? It cost $1000! And some fools actually [...]

This app plays to a market niche of which most of the posters here can not relate with. By adding a high price tag, the creator of this app was banking on exclusivity as well as on a superstitious, “law of attraction” market niche of wealthy, self-made individuals. And this niche does exist, I have seen them. $1,000 for a hand held mantra reminded them they are successful, wealthy, or fabulous actually seems feasible to me. And he will need to have a high price, because the sheer size of the niche is much smaller in comparison to the mainstream. I applaud the boldness and creativity of this application. Just because you are not the customer of a business, does not mean it does not have its niche.
