IIRC the the highest price an app could set at the App Store launch in 2008 was $999 or $999.99.

This was someone putting a drawing in an iPhone app bundle with a funny name and charging the highest price that Apple allowed developers to set.

In other words, art.

It was brilliant. Made even more brilliant when the people who had actually paid for the app went on line, backpedalling, to explain how they had bought it on accident.
