5 жыл бұрын

Released on August the 5th 2008, under the category of "Lifestyle", and weighing in at just 0.1 MB, "I Am Rich" was described as ‘’a work of art with no hidden function at all’’.
Of course, that was just the developers way of saying that it didn't really do anything!
Price tag - 999 dollars and 99 cents!

After reading the app reviews though, it turns out that the app was actually free for a perioud of time, allowing it to be downloaded 1000+ times, before having its price changed.
