Some people really do have too much money. And they want you to know it.
 

An iPhone application that appeared in the App Store this week had absolutely no purpose. It wasn’t a fun game, a GPS system or a social networking mechanism. It didn’t help you decide where to eat or who the hottest girl in your class was. It was simply there, a red icon sitting on your phone.
 

And it cost $999.99.
 

The appropriately named “I Am Rich” app was simply a constant reminder to its owner and anyone else who saw it that he or she is rich enough to throw away a grand on something so utterly useless.
 

This pretentious indulgence obviously caused much controversy and since then the application has been removed. I can’t imagine why though. Are people really that upset that the rich and bored spent their money on a pretty red thingamajig for their iPhone instead of donating it to charity or at least buying a flat screen TV?
 

Yes, I get that it was a joke of some sorts. But what’s really funny is that 8 people actually bought it.
 

Personally, I’d rather have Shazam.
