This app created a crazy ripple effect making so many blogs buzzing with this $999.99 red stone app. Funny enough Apple allowed it to appear on AppStore.

And now this app is not more available on AppStore. It no longer appears in searches, coder Armin Heinrich’s list of apps, or the most-recent apps list. Apple might have removed it. This is good though. As our elders say - ‘there is nothing called quick money’

UPDATE: This is THE update I have been looking for. This news has been discovered by valleywag.com. There is this someone’s husband who has accidentally paid $999.99 for this absolutely useless iPhone app. Here is how he became the first and last person in this world to buy this DUMB app for $999.99

After discovering Armein Heinrich’s $999.99 do-nothing “I Am Rich” iPhone widget, Apple iTunes App Store reviewer Lee5279xx claims that he “clicked buy, thinking it was a joke, to see what happened. I forgot my wife had ‘iclick’ activated on my laptop and it really bought this app for $999″… via valleywag.com

UPDATE 2: LA Times reports that eight individuals bought the $999.99 I am Rich application before it was pulled off the store.

Six people from the United States, one from Germany and one from France dropped a grand for the gem in the first 24 hours it was available, Heinrich said. That’s $5,600 in revenue for Heinrich and $2,400 for Apple, which collects 30% of each sale for “store upkeep.”
