People in expensive neighborhoods tend to be less interested in getting $10 than people in less expensive neighborhoods because they already have money, so this thing will predominately target the not-zuckerbergs of the world. If you wanted even coverage, you'd have to compensate for the fact that rich people tend to live near other rich people who are less motivated by the same money than poor people who live near other poor people.

Do rich people have insurance companies, ex-spouses, business partners, rival colleagues, rival corporations, government agencies who'd like to know more about them yet want plausible deniability that an anonymous tracking system affords them? This is what I mean by saying that Game Theory balances everyone out. You have to consider that there is always another party and they're all motivated by their own interests. And I don't mean to be curt with you but I'm pretty sure rich people leave their houses every once in awhile. Don't you?
